Air rescue by Fishers Island on 5/8010

ReelyNauti · May 9, 2010

Went black fishing (commercial lic) on west side by Race rock light house, a 46- 50 ' lobster boat ran aground on rocks they could not get off due to current , so the Coast Guard flew in a chopper to lift the crew off, it was too foggy to get a close pick by , but the CG flew directly over us ......

Second picture i modified ....look on shore you can see rescue vehicle's , then the lobster boat on rocks , then the two coasties then on right Race Rock light house....

Was listening to this on the radio...both our boats went in yesterday. Last law school exam of the semester tomorrow morning, plan to run the boat for the first time tomorrow after noon.

Reely Nauti, any word on what to expert for weather out in Block Island sound tomorrow. I wanted to run from Niantic to Stonington (just near Watch Hill) to grab some food and beers. Too windy? NOAA says 2-3's but I don't see that being too comfortable with 10-15 knots winds.
