Three boaters stranded during their journey to Rhode Island were pulled early Thursday from a sandbar after their 40-foot sailboat ran aground in the fog off Fire Island, authorities said.
Hours after the predawn rescue, the sailboat was still stuck in the sand Thursday, and authorities are strategizing a plan to remove it, the Coast Guard said.
The rescued boaters - Stu Williams, 49 of White Fish, Mont.; John Bosco, 40, of Berlin, Conn.; and Jeremiah Bailey, 29 - were not injured and are in good condition, authorities said.
The boaters were on their way to Newport, R.I., after starting out in Georgia, authorities said.
