Suffolk County Police Marine Bureau officers rescued two boaters in the Great South Bay Friday afternoon after their boat lost power less than a mile north of Fire Island Pines, Suffolk County police said.
The boaters—a 37-year-old Captain from Wantagh and his crew member—were a half-mile from the pines when they called 911 at 1:17 p.m. requesting help because their 38-foot lobster-style boat had last engine power and was getting tossed around by gale force winds and five-foot waves, police said.
