2 hospitalized, 27 safe after rowing club boats capsize off Connecticut

WESTPORT, Conn. (AP) — A mishap involving sculling boats sent 29 people into the cold waters of Long Island Sound off Connecticut, but no serious injuries were reported. The boats from the private Saugatuck Rowing Club capsized off Westport Wednesday afternoon. Police say some people swam to shore and others were rescued by first responders in boats. Two people were brought to a hospital with suspected hypothermia. Police say two sculling boats capsized during a fast change in weather, and people from those boats sank a third vessel when they tried to get in it. Authorities say they are investigating with the goal of preventing similar incidents.
