“Our deepest condolences go out to the family, friends and loved ones effected,” said Petty Officer 1st Class Will Cusic, of Coast Guard Sector Honolulu. “Suspending a search is a difficult decision to make, especially when we aren’t able to bring closure to the family.”
Responders conducted a total of 17 searches covering 539 square miles over a span of two days.
Involved in the search were:
– MH-65 Dolphin helicopter crews and HC-130 Hercules airplane crews from Coast Guard Air Station Barbers Point
– Crew of the Coast Guard Cutter Ahi
– Ground crews from Coast Guard Station Maui
– Maui Fire Department helicopter crews and additional ground crews
Watchstanders at Coast Guard Sector Honolulu Command Center were notified at 9:15 p.m., Monday, of two people swept out to sea near the Olivine Tide Pools. One person was recovered and safely transported to Maui Memorial reportedly in stable condition.
