Crazy Ivan Registered: 08/26/02 Posts: 17933 Loc: New Milford, and Anywhere Salt...	https://www.wtnh.com/news/connecticut/fa...wn-in-westport/ WESTPORT, Conn. (WTNH) – Westport police are searching for two missing men after a small boat sank near Cockenoe Island Sunday afternoon. A boater spotted a man standing on a navigational buoy at 4 p.m. on Saturday and alerted police, who retrieved the man from the buoy. Police then rescued a second man and a woman from the water. The three individuals were transported to a hospital for evaluation. After retrieving a translator, police were able to learn that there were a total of five people on the boat when it sank. I'm not fat, I'm fluffy! Judge Smails: "Its easy to grin, when your ship comes in, and you've got the stock market beat. But the man worth while is the man that can smile with his shorts too tight in the seat."

Must have been a washing machine out there, especially on that reef. The one guy is luck that there was even another boater out that there that spotted him on the buoy. I agree, the two missing probably did not make it. Be safe! CD
