Watch Coast Guard Rescue Two Teens Stuck On Rocks

NARRAGANSETT, RI — Two teens needed help from the Coast Guard after they became stuck on a rock jetty. Coast Guard Station Point Judith went to the rescue. The incident happened Saturday.

The Coast Guard said a commercial towing company called them to say two teenagers were stranded after their 21-foot boat lost power in Harbor of Refuge. Point Judith Station launched a rescue boat, but the boat could not move in close enough to the break wall to reach the teens. So, one of the crew swam to the rocks and brought each boy to the rescue boat. The teens, both 15, were not injured and have been reunited with their parents.
