Two boaters in their late 30s were rescued Sunday night after capsizing their 20-foot powerboat at the east end of the breakwater, authorities said Monday.
The Long Beach Fire Department Marine Safety Division received a mayday call at about 6:35 p.m. Two rescue boats were dispatched and were able to find and pull both boaters from the water unharmed, said Capt. Jackawa Jackson, a Fire Department spokesman.
The rescuers also righted the capsized power boat and drained it of all the water it had taken on and towed it to the southshore boat launch.
The cause of the accident is under investigation
