Three Greenville residents were safe Sunday after an evening boat outing turned into a cold night in Charleston Harbor. William Englisbe, his wife Nancy Englisbe, and a friend, Henry Edwards, were rescued by the Coast Guard Saturday morning after being shipwrecked on a jetty in the harbor for 11 hours, officials said. The three were unharmed except for some bumps and bruises. They had taken shelter from temperatures in the 40s by getting under their overturned catamaran for shelter, Englisbe said. "It was very cold," he said.

"We stuck our heads in the life jackets and breathed on ourselves." The National Weather Service said a small craft advisory was in effect Friday night and winds in Charleston Harbor were clocked as high as 39 mph. Englisbe said problems began Friday evening when the mast on the 16-foot catamaran broke in half while they were sailing about 100 yards offshore. He said they tried unsuccessfully to signal people on shore for help. They then tried to swim the boat to shore but ran up on a jetty a protective wall in the harbor, Englisbe said. Steve Toney, another boater from Greenville, realized the Englishes and Edwards were missing and began to look for them on the Isle of Palms.

Toney said he called the guard about 10:30 p.m. and then called back an hour later. He said he became frustrated about 1:30 a.m. because a rescue boat had not been sent out by the Coast Guard. An Isle of Palms rescue squad boat went out about 2:25 a.m.

If any of these things aren't working properly, ask the operator to move you to another seat. Never stand up in a car while the ride is moving. Don't lean out of the car or stick your hands out, either. Never get on or off a ride that's moving. If a ride operator says you're too short or small for a ride, don't try to sneak on anyway.

Safety belts may not fit properly and you could get hurt. Look at a ride carefully before you get on. If it looks too scary, skip it. There's nothing wrong with playing it safe. March calls for stiffer Cecil E.
