On April 4, 2026, the U.S. Coast Guard successfully rescued four individuals from a disabled 42-foot motor yacht named Proudfoot, which was adrift three miles southwest of Moriches Inlet, New York. The vessel encountered severe conditions, battling seas over 12 feet high. Initial rescue attempts by local police and responders were hindered by the hazardous weather, prompting Coast Guard Sector Long Island Sound to issue an Urgent Marine Information Broadcast. A boat crew from Station Shinnecock was dispatched but had to return due to worsening sea conditions.
