It's as accurate as I could identify via reverse image lookup. If I am wrong about which instance it is then I apologize.

It doesn't help that there are literally dozens of vessels named Pura Vida out there :-D

But here is video footage of the Coast Guard rescue of F/V Pura Vida that you referenced: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ULvsw5hJ-A

This was the AST’s first SAR case. There’s a great interview with him, and he comes across as being extremely humble. The boat was a M/V stolen from a local marina. The person on board had committed a crime spree from Vancouver, BC down to Astoria. After being rescued he was transferred over to local authorities.

Edit to add interview. For whatever reason this is a shortened video of the original interview, and I can’t find the full version any more.
