Sailboat sinks truck at ramp

Excerpts from last week's Harbor Patrol report

May 20

— HP responded to a north bay anchorage for a subject that was feeling depressed and suicidal. HP transported the subject to shore and then to County Mental Health for an evaluation.

— HP responded to the Shelter Island Launch ramp for a vehicle and trailer submerged in the water. It was found that the subjects were attempting to put a sailboat in the water and were having difficulties with the deep keel of the boat. They backed the truck into the water as far as they could and then used the sailboat motor in an attempt to rock it off of the trailer. During this process, the truck slid back into the water becoming completely submerged.
