Five Devon youths safe after sound crossing ordeal
Five Devon youths safely returned to Milford after a Sunday Voyage in Port Jefferson ended in trouble across the Housatonic. Robert Pastir and Theodore Weisberger, both rescued from a buoy by a tug, spent the night on the water as fog and rough seas stranded the others. The group had started from Devon on Sunday morning, crossed the sound to Port Jefferson, then faced fuel loss and a hole in their 10 foot boat. The Coast Guard Auxiliary spotted the remaining trio at Milford Yacht Club at dawn, confirming their safe arrival after a cold night at sea.
