Anyone from the CT River area? I was on my boat this weekend coming in from the sound and between the bridges saw two Boat US tow boats trying to salvage what looked like a new sweet 16. The guys were scrambling to pump the boat out and keep it floating, which they did. Anyone have any info?

These are actually two separate incidents if you can believe it. The Donzi I saw sinking was around 1:00 - 1:30 P.M. The Center Console that hit the sailboat was around 4:30ish. I wasn't sure what happened to the Donzi - looked as though a bellows popped. Stern was really really low - almost completely swamped.

CT River was really crazy this weekend. We went out to the sound for a quick run, and with the wind and boat traffic due to folks coming in from vaca - we battled 1-2 footers in the river.
