A Dominican Navy coastal patrol boat, the GC-104 Aldebaran, has rescued a ship, the Mandy Lynn some 80 nautical miles from the port of Luperon. The ship, with seven crew members and the captain, Charles Emmanuel Ford, had run out of fuel and was adrift after leaving Caicos Island in the Turks and Caicos. According to Vice Admiral Homero Luis Lajara Sola, the Aldebaran handed over the vessel to the tugboat "Guaroa" from the Dominican Tugboat Company (Remoldom), captained by First Lieutenant Argenis Manzueta Leonidas in order to be towed into port.
