On April 4, at 5:45 p.m., watchstanders at Coast Guard Sector Long Island Sound were notified via Very High Frequency (VHF) radio that the vessel, Proudfoot, was disabled and caught in seas over 12 feet.

Hazardous weather prevented local police and responders from assisting, reports said. 

It was then that Coast Guard Sector Long Island Sound responded by issuing an Urgent Marine Information Broadcast and dispatching a boat crew from Station Shinnecock.

However, the boat crew later returned to the station due to worsening sea conditions, USCG stated.

By 8:30 p.m, a Cape Cod-based Coast Guard aircrew arrived on-site via an MH-60T Jayhawk.

Coast Guard Lt. Jonathan Roth of Sector Long Island Sound noted that the difficult mission highlighted how vital life jackets and reliable communication tools are for boaters. 

He emphasized that this safety equipment is essential for any trip, regardless of the season or weather conditions.

The following morning, it was reported that the vessel washed ashore at Democrat Point, Fire Island.
