Coast Guard says they were lucky to be found

Oswego's Lighthouse is a popular destination, but breakwall-walkers are reminded to wear life jackets while getting there

Waves washed two men off the breakwall in Oswego Harbor on Saturday afternoon---and the Coast Guard says they were lucky that rescuers were close. A Motor Lifeboat on patrol spotted the two in the 6-foot waves and pulled them out. Neither was wearing life jackets. The two refused medical attention.
