Local emergency services and bystanders worked for 45 minutes to try and save a man's life on Sunday evening at the Elochoman Slough Marina. Fishermen used their boat on the left to push the sailboat to shore after its captain collapsed. People visiting the marina responded as well, holding the sailboat, helping EMTs aboard, and bringing another boat around to transport the man to an ambulance waiting at the launch.
