TOMALES BAY, Calif. -- Three Marin County men are OK after their boat became stuck on rocks in Tomales Bay.
The three men radioed for help around 6:30 last night when their 26-foot motor boat became stranded on the rocks and began taking on water.
Because of the rocky, coastline Coast Guard vessels on the scene weren't able to get to the three boaters.
After a helicopter from the Sonoma County Sheriff's Department was able to land nearby, the three men were able to climb over the rocks to the helicopter just before the boat capsized and broke apart.
The three were treated for hypothermia and later released.
 
Too bad they lost their boat. That was a pretty close call. Stay away from the surf and quickly drop an anchor if you get into trouble near the shore!
