Event narrative
Two men were rescued by the U.S. Coast Guard after their 21-foot fishing boat capsized (as reported by local TV media). One man showed signs of hypothermia, and the other was face-down with no pulse but revived with CPR. Both were airlifted to a local hospital. The exact cause of the capsize was unknown, though combined seas had built to nearly 8 feet with a swell period from the east of 9 seconds. Note: Time of the incident was estimated.
