Coast Guard Petty Officer Trevor Shiel said the Castle Hill station, in Newport, received a call about 3 p.m. reporting two people in distress about a half-mile from shore.
By the time Coast Guard personnel arrived, Shiel said, a local boater had rescued the two –– identified only as a 47-year-old Massachusetts woman and a 26-year-old Rhode Island man. He said the Coast Guard boat took them to shore, where Warwick rescue personnel examined them.
