Sgt. received a call from USCG regarding a boat taking on water north of Block Island with two people aboard.  Both subjects had been rescued by USCG patrol and transported to USCG Pt. Judith boathouse where they were met by Narragansett Fire/Rescue for treatment.  Neither one had any injuries.  One of the victims, who was also the operator reported that he and a friend, left his slip at Ram Pt. Marina in South Kingstown.  They had been fishing in the vicinity of Block Is. for most of the day.  At some point they heard a thump from underneath the boat but didn’t think they hit anything.  Approximately one hour later they heard the bilge pump constantly running.  When operatoropened the engine compartment it was full of water. A short time later the boat took on a wave over the stern which accelerated the rate the boat took on water.  Less than 5-minutes later the boat began to sink.  Both victims climbed to the bow and remain there until the USCG patrol arrived.
