A coast guard team has saved six fishermen from a capsizing boat.

At around to 2 a.m. on Sunday, the coast guard received a distress signal from a boat 9.2 nautical miles off southwestern Chiayi County. The boat had taken on water and was listing to one side.

A coast guard team reached the boat 30 minutes after receiving the signal despite rough conditions at sea. Rescuers gave the fishermen life vests and pumped some of the water out of the boat. The team was eventually able to bring the boat and the fishermen safely back to shore.     [SOURCE]
