Coast Guard aircrew rescues boaters stranded on Chesapeake Bay island

On Sunday morning, a Coast Guard aircrew safely recovered two men who got stranded on Adam Island in the Chesapeake Bay Saturday night.

The men got stuck on the island when weather turned sour. We're told the men intentionally ran their 17-foot long boat aground.

Sunday morning, one of the boater's dads alerted watchstanders in the Sector Maryland-National Capital Region's command center that the two were still stranded on the island, soaking wet.

We're told an already-airborne helicopter crew from Air Station Atlantic City, New Jersey, diverted from a training flight to help.

The crew landed on Adam Island, recovered the two men and transported them to Salisbury Regional Airport on Sunday.

The boaters are scheduled to retrieve their boat as soon as possible.
