The officer then contacted a watchstander at Coast Guard Sector Houston/Galveston just before 2 a.m. requesting help to find the boy and men who were stranded in a broken down boat.
The Coast Guard launched a helicopter and rescue boat crew to help in the search. At dawn a second helicopter and rescue boat crew joined the search.
The rescue helicopter crew located the disabled boat with all five onboard in Galveston Bay. The boaters were all found in good condition.
