Two rescued from boat near Nicolet Bay
Two people were found safe after their boat began taking water in the Bay of Green Bay on Sunday afternoon. Emergency personnel were dispatched to an area between Nicolet Bay and Fish Creek just after 1:15 p.m. According to Gibraltar Fire and Rescue Chief Andy Bertges, the 22-foot boat had just launched near Peninsula State Park when it suddenly lost power. The wind on the bay eventually pushed the vessel to shore, where it began to take on water. The United States Coast Guard, the Gibraltar and Ephraim Fire Departments, the Door County Sheriff’s Department, and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources were all involved in the call that resulted in the boat being tied to shore until it could be towed away on Monday.
