Emergency crews in Ocean City, New Jersey, jumped into action to rescue two people who were stranded on a disabled sailboat that ultimately grounded on a sandbar close to the beach on Saturday afternoon.
The Ocean City Firefighters Association said that at about 2 p.m. on Saturday, emergency personnel, Ocean City police and beach patrol members responded to the area near 22nd Street and the beach for a water rescue.
When they arrived, rescuers saw that a nearly 40-foot sailboat was disabled and in distress with two people on board.
The sailboat was quickly approaching a sandbar as rough surf tossed the vessel around.
