Police Rescue Kayaker in Long Island Sound
Three men in blue came to the rescue when a man's kayak overturned Saturday afternoon.

SOUND BEACH, NY – Suffolk County Police Marine Bureau officers rescued a man after his kayak overturned in the Long Island Sound Saturday afternoon.
Officers Matthew Funaro, Cory Kim and Shane Parker were on patrol in Marine Delta when they observed a man clinging to his overturned kayak in the Long Island Sound, about a mile north of Woodhull Landing Road in Sound Beach, around 12:20 p.m. The water was 64 degrees and the wind was pushing the man away from shore.
The officers pulled the man, Humberto Castro, and his 10-foot kayak aboard Marine Delta. Castro, 47, of Newark, New Jersey, was transported to the Mount Sinai Marina where he was evaluated by members of Port Jefferson EMS.
