The U.S. Coast Guard received a distress call Friday from boaters aboard a 27-foot sailboat who were stuck in rough seas.

Officials say the seas were so rough outside of the Shinnecock Inlet, with waves breaking 10-15 feet high, that they could not send any vessels out.

A helicopter was sent to the scene, and two men were rescued. The sailboat is now adrift.

Below is video from the rescue effort.
