The Coast Guard reports rescuing two men from cold waters nine miles north of Rockport after their boat sank around 1:30 p.m. on Saturday.
The Coast Guard credits the life jackets the men put on for keeping them alive until they were spotted by a search jet around 7 p.m. "Luckily the two men were wearing life jackets," said Ensign Marie Haywood, Coast Guard Sector Boston.
When their boat, the 30-foot Happy Days, began taking on water, one of the men used his cell phone to call the Coast Guard - which worked with the phone company to try to figure out where they had called from. In addition to the jet, two ships and a helicopter searched for them.
