Coast Guard rescues two from sinking boat near a reef off the Florida Keys
The U.S. Coast Guard on Monday afternoon rescued two people from a sinking boat off the Florida Keys.
The people, who the Coast Guard did not name, were in good health after they were rescued. But their Zodiac vessel sank, said Petty Officer Nicole Groll, an agency spokeswoman said.
The boat was located near the Hens and Chickens Reef off Plantation Key, Islamorada, when the Coast Guard received a call that the passengers were in distress around 12:16 p.m., Groll said.
