Boaters are ready to help in Louisiana

By:De Anna Sheffield

Tampa, Florida - You typically see airboats zipping around on Florida waters for eco-tours, alligator hunting, or fishing. But members of the Florida Airboat Association are ready to go on a trip of a very different kind. They are prepared to volunteer their time--and their airboats--for the search and rescue efforts in Louisiana.

Captain Dalan Markett, Florida Airboat Association:
"This will allow us to get up to where no other vehicles can get to. Four-wheelers, trucks, helicopters things like that, can't get to places where we can. That's the benefit of having airboats."

Here's the rest including the video that was shown on the news: -http://www.tampabays10.com/news/news.aspx?storyid=18390-
 
Nice catch on that story Rick.

Capt's Dalan and Phil did a nice job during that interview.

They definately pojected a positive image of airboaters, as above average citizens.

Hat's off to that local reporter for responding to invitation, or seeking out that story.
