Helicopter Drags Stranded Boat Back to the Water

Don't let the look of the ground fool you, a four-wheeled vehicle wasn't getting out onto those flats without sinking.

After having their boat stuck in the soft ground of the receded waters for nearly three days, these guys decided it was time to call in the troops. So, they had a chopper drag their boat back to the water.

The only problem is it was over 1,000 feet away!

At first I thought they were going to hoist it straight into the air. But, these guys fortunately knew exactly what they were doing and dragged it away without a hitch.

It seemed like kind of an extreme way of getting a boat back to the water, but it's probably not the first time someone's done it that fashion there.

What other method might they have used?
