Coast Guard monitoring abandoned boat off Nantucket

By Hailey Heinz, Globe Correspondent

The Coast Guard is monitoring a disabled fishing boat as it continues to drift off the coast of Nantucket today.

The three-man crew of the Creole Belle was airlifted to safety Thursday evening; two Coast Guardsmen were injured during the rescue.

The Coast Guard yesterday attached a marker buoy to the abandoned boat, which transmits its location.

The Coast Guard is warning other boats in the vicinity so they can steer clear of the disabled vessel.
