Thanks for that clarification. I got the "local police" thing from one of the articles.
So, for others referencing the chart above... the Great Wicomico is that inlet near the point I labelled "where the local police launched from". The survivors were picked up about a mile on the east side of that white area straight east from where the rescue crews launched.
From a different article, I also read "The yacht was new to the group, according to SPSR, and they were in the process of taking it from Virginia Beach to NJ when the incident occurred. The vessel had recently had repairs done and got into trouble due to catastrophic transom failure."
