Early Tuesday morning, the Coast Guard rescued a fisherman after his boat capsized near Waldport.
The commercial fishing vessel Ambition became disabled in the surf near the entrance to the Alsea River.
Coast Guard crews responded with a lifeboat, helicopter with help from a nearby commercial boat, called the Predator.
The helicopter got there first and deployed a rescue swimmer who hoisted the man from the water. He was taken to Samaritan Hospital in Newport for treatment of mild hypothermia.
