Boat Hits Gull Rocks in Branford

The U.S. Coast Guard responded to the waters off Branford after a boat hit Gull Rocks, south of the Branford coastline, around 6:30 a.m.

Everyone on the boat was wearing a life jacket and the vessel was not taking on water.

The boaters declined from assistance SeaTow, but the owner of the boat -- a Shelton resident -- has contracted the boat towing service to get the boat when the tide comes in.

Branford officials sent out their Marine police unit and are transporting the boaters to Bruce and Johnson’s Marina in Branford.

No additional information was immediately available.
