Marine Bureau officers Erik Johnson and Timothy Dillon responded, in Marine Bravo, to a report that a boat was in distress approximately one mile north of Eatons Neck Lighthouse on June 27 at 1:55 p.m. Upon arrival, officers found the cabin and stern of a 1997 Bayliner Trophy boat partially submerged in water. Officers in conjunction with Town of Huntington Harbor Master, removed water from the vessel while Marine Bravo towed the boat to the Soundview boat ramp in Northport.
