BOSTON, MA — A Coast Guard Jayhawk helicopter crew based on Cape Cod rescued two men whose sailing boat ran aground in Boston Harbor Friday. The rescue effort, hampered by rough seas and 50 mph winds, was successful. No one was hurt.  The owner of the "Silent Passage" vessel radioed the Coast Guard at about 1 p.m. and informed them his boat ran aground on rocks during low tide. The Coast Guard dispatched a boat but it was unable to reach the sailboat due to the low tide.    "Initially, the plan was to wait for the tide to refloat the sailing vessel, but the wind speed increased to between 20-30 knots and the situation was becoming unsafe," the Coast Guard said in a statement.     A Coast Guard Jayhawk helicopter was launched from Air Station Cape Cod in Sandwich and reached the sailboat by 4:30 p.m. The men were hoisted to safety.  This Coast Guard video shows the rescue:    <figure class="r-embed"><iframe width="500" height="300" scrolling="no" allowtransparency="true" src data-src="https://www.dvidshub.net/video/embed/492398"></iframe></figure>    <figure class="r-embed" data-aspectratio="4:3"><iframe src allowfullscreen data-aspectratio="4:3" data-originalheight="450" data-originalwidth="600" data-src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d5899.22264681594!2d-70.93203882306572!3d42.329488166755574!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x89e365f571e3d817%3A0x838da8661d74382c!2sLovells+Island!5e0!3m2!1sen!2sus!4v1478999659467"></iframe></figure>Photo: A helicopter crew lifts a man to safety after his sailboat ran aground in Boston Harbor on Nov. 11, 2016.
