The Coast Guard says it rescued two people from a capsized boat in southeast Georgia after receiving a 911 call about their late return and their phones going unanswered.

The lifesaving effort involving a Coast Guard Air Station Savannah aircrew unfolded Sunday about four miles east of Jekyll Island.

“Coast Guard Sector Charleston watchstanders received a report of distress through 911 dispatch, Saturday evening, that two men were late returning to Jekyll Harbor from Christmas Creek Marina and the phones of both men were going directly to voicemail,” the Coast Guard said in a statement.
