Two boaters were rescued by the U.S. Coast Guard yesterday morning when they ran aground on an island of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel.

The Coast Guard picked up the two leaving the boat behind in the face of deteriorating weather conditions.

There were no reports of injuries.

The Salisbury Daily Times reports there is a small craft advisory around the bridge until 1 p.m. with waves as high as 3 to 5 feet.
