And while anyone caught outside could be accused of stupidity given the countless warnings from the state’s governor and federal agencies, it was two men in Martin County who stood out from the pack.

The Sheriff’s Department posted to their Facebook account Sunday that there team was heading out to sea in order to save two men.

‘MCSO Marine Rescue and Strike Teams are launching into treacherous waters to begin a marine rescue of two people who remained on their boat near the causeway, read the post.
