"The tidal fluctuations in our area can be extreme and prevent even shallow water rescue boats from being able to reach you in some areas," said Lt. Tucker Williams, an Air Station Savannah copilot on the case. "Checking the tides before boating and making safe speed in unfamiliar water can help prevent you from getting stuck in an emergency situation."
