SONOMA COUNTY, Calif. (KGO) -- Three fishermen had to be rescued from a sinking boat near Salt Point State Park.

U.S. Coastguard pictures show them being pulled to safety. Authorities say their fishing vessel struck a rock around 6 a.m. It immediately started taking on water and they made a distress call then hopped in a raft.

The rescue crew found them in the fog about an hour later near the shore.

None of the men were hurt.
