TL;DR

The Coast Guard rescued a man, woman, and their dog from a disabled sailboat 90 miles off the coast of Florida. The boat had suffered water damage, which disabled its electronics and triggered an automated distress call. Despite being unable to communicate with the boat, the Coast Guard located it using the distress alert's last known position. A helicopter was dispatched, and the crew successfully airlifted the couple and their dog to safety. They were declared to be in good health, and arrangements are being made to salvage the sailboat.
