Coast Guard rescues 8 people, including child, after boat capsizes 36 miles west of Florida coastline
A U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) aircrew came to the rescue of seven adults and one child, after their boat capsized 36 miles west off of the Boca Grande, Florida, coastline on Saturday.
Officials with the U.S. Coast Guard Southeast said in a press release that the boaters reported that their 28-foot boat capsized and was sinking off the coast of Boca Grande, which is near Fort Myers.
After the boaters activated an Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB), an Air Station Clearwater MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter aircrew honed in on a signal coming from the boaters’ Personal Locator Beacons.
The crew said they spotted the beacon’s strobe lights and found all eight people wearing life jackets while holding onto a cooler.

Petty Officer 3rd Class Santiago Gomez, Coast Guard Public Affairs Detachment Tampa Bay, said that the boaters carried all the necessary lifesaving equipment needed.
“The boaters in distress carried close to every piece of lifesaving equipment we encourage the public to carry onboard their vessel,” Gomez said. “Life jackets, an EPIRB, a PLB, visual signaling devices and a marine grade radio with VHF-FM channel 16 improve our Coast Guard crews’ abilities to locate mariners in distress and increase the chances of a positive outcome to bring them safely home.”

“Today marks the beginning of the 2024 Atlantic Hurricane Season, and these safe boating practices make a difference year-round,” he said.

Waymo has suspended driverless car services in Dallas and other major Texas cities, and in Atlanta, after one of its vehicles was stranded by flooding during heavy rains that will likely also hinder travel in a large swath of the U.S over the holiday weekend.
Severe thunderstorms with large hail and gusty winds were possible Friday, May 22 in Texas and other parts of the Southern and Central Plains, the National Weather Service said.
Forecasters warned of possible flash flooding along the Gulf Coast of Texas and Louisiana on Saturday, when rain and thunderstorms were expected across much of the central and eastern U.S.
The Waymo vehicle got stuck during a downpour in Atlanta on Wednesday that flooded streets and even part of a downtown highway. The vehicle was not occupied and was later recovered, the company said in a statement. At least one other Waymo vehicle was waylaid during the storm.
Waymo serves only the city of Atlanta in Georgia, and services Dallas, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio in Texas.
The company paused service in Texas “out of an abundance of caution for the forecasted severe weather,” the statement said.

Dolphins 90 in 90: Tight end Greg Dulcich looking to build in 2026
Our 90-in-90 series took a two-day break after just two articles had been posted. On Thursday, I had just about finished a look at tight end Jalin Conyers, only to have the Miami Dolphins announce they were waiving the 2025 undrafted free agent signing. It was perfectly timed to throw off my post. Yesterday, I just did not have a chance to post.
Which brings us to today’s look at the Dolphins’ 2026 roster. Each article in the 90-in-90 series is designed to let us get a closer look at one player on the roster, breaking down who he is, what he did last year, and what could be in store for him this year. Our first two publications for 2026 were defensive players, cornerback JuJu Brents and defensive end Mason Reiger. Today, we turn to the offense with tight end Greg Dulcich.
Name: Greg Dulcich
Number: 85
Position: Tight end
Height / Weight: 6’4” / 245
Age (at start of season): 26
Experience: 5th season (Denver Broncos 2022-2024, Chicago Bears 2024, Miami Dolphins 2025)
College: UCLA
Draft: 2022 3rd round (Broncos)
Acquired: 2025 Free Agent signing; Re-signed 2026
Contract and 2026 salary cap
Contract: 1 year, $3.25 million
2026 salary cap: $1.7 million
Games played: 10 (3 starts)
Receptions: 26
Receiving yards: 335
Touchdowns: 1
Dulcich started the 2025 season on Miami’s practice squad, making his first appearance in Week 8. Once he did get into the game, he quickly moved from a depth piece into a key part of the offense, catching a season-high five passes in his second game (tied in Week 17). He was not a player who teams had to game plan to cover, but he did finish the year second on the team in average yards per reception for players who had at least seven receptions at 12.9 – trailing only wide receiver Jaylen Waddle. He established himself as a solid tight end who can be counted on to make the contested catch and keep the chains moving.
Tight end signings: Zack Kuntz, Ben Sims, Cole Turner
Released: Jalin Conyers (waived), Zack Kuntz (waived), Chris Myarick
Drafted: Will Kacmarek (3rd round); Seydou Traore (5th round)
Dulcich is projected to be the team’s starting tight end and should serve as a possession-style receiver for new starting quarterback Malik Willis. He does not need to be a down-field, highlight-producing receiver for the team, but be the solid player who gets what he can and keeps drives alive.
General manager Jon-Eric Sullivan mentioned Dulcich during an appearance on ESPN at the NFL Owners Meetings. Asked by Kevin Clark for a player he thinks is poised to take a big step forward in 2026, Sullivan immediately replied, “Dulcich. I thought he had a really good back-end of the season, and I want to see if he can build on that. That’s why we brought him back.”
Dulcich should be the starter come Week 1 and may become one of Willis’s favorite targets.
