“Coast Guard rescues couple, dog from disabled sailboat off Florida’s Gulf Coast”
“CLEARWATER, Fla. - An aircrew rescued two people and their dog, on Saturday after their sailboat became disable, according to officials.”
“Authorities say they received an alert around 11 a.m.” that the sailors needed help.
“The Coast Guard Air Station Clearwater MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter aircrew says they brought the couple and their dog back to Air Station Clearwater in good health after they were rescued 90 miles off Hernando Beach.”
Officials say a porthole broke allowing water to get into the boat which damaged some of the electronics. 
"A DSC alert allows mariners to instantly send an automatically formatted distress alert to the Coast Guard or other rescue authority anywhere in the world," said Lt. j.g. Connor Sullivan, command duty officer, Sector St. Petersburg. "Due to the reported water ruining the system, this alert gave us their last known position and allowed us to investigate because the owners registered it to their equipment."
According to the Coast Guard, salvage for the vessel is being coordinated.
