NAPLES - U.S. Coast Guard officials reported Friday afternoon they had rescued a Fort Myers area family reported missing in the Gulf of Mexico during Hurricane Katrina.
Officials said they used a helicopter to pull Edward and Tina Larsen and three children -- 16-, 13- and 4 years old -- from their 24-foot vessel discovered off the coast of Everglades City.
The family was immediately flown to Fort Myers, said Coast Guard officials, who did not disclose their medical condition.
The drama surrounding the Larsen family rescue began unfolding Thursday around 8 p.m. when a friend of the family called the Coast Guard to report the family was overdue at Cape Coral.
The family had left Marathon about 6:30 a.m. Thursday and were expected in Cape Coral aboard their vessel, Sea Note, by about noon, Coast Guard officials said.
