A man was rescued on Lake Michigan after his sailboat capsized.
The U.S. Coast Guard shared helicopter footage of the rescue, which occurred near Green Island.
The sailor called in a mayday to the Coast Guard Sector Lake Michigan just after 6:00 Saturday evening, saying his boat became disabled about 11 miles northwest of the Sturgeon Bay Canal.
Members of the Coast Guard Station Sturgeon Bay responded to the area, where they located the man, who said his vessel had capsized and that he was able to right it before it ran aground on a sandbar.
The helicopter crew lowered a rescue swimmer to assist the man before hoisting him aboard the helicopter and transporting him to awaiting emergency medical services for symptoms of hypothermia at Menominee Regional Airport in Michigan.
