Lorton, Va. –– Two men and one woman were pulled from the Belmont Bay this afternoon after their sailboat capsized.
No one was injured and all three were wearing life jackets, say Fairfax County Fire and Rescue spokesman Dan Schmidt.
The 19-foot boat capsized about noon, in the water three miles south of the Purple Heart Bridge that carries traffic on Interstate 95 across the Occoquan River.
Someone inside the boat was able to use a cell phone to call for help, sending rescue crews from the Mason Neck and Woodbridge areas, as well as Charles County, Md. to the scene.
Once out of the water, the boaters and their boat were all taken to the Fairfax Yacht Club on Old Colchester Road in Lorton
