MARQUETTE, MI-- A boater had to be rescued near Marquette’s Picnic Rocks Tuesday afternoon after his vessel lost power.
The man couldn’t control the sailboat, which was floating out into Lake Superior amid windy and choppy conditions.
Around 4 p.m. the boater sent up a flare after he lost radio contact with the U.S. Coast Guard. The Coast Guard was able to find and tow the boat to its marina.
No injuries are reported. The man was the only person on the boat.
