I was out in Long Island Sound fishing for stripers. I could see the smoke from the other end of the sound but had no idea what had happened. I pulled my gear and headed in from just outside Montauk Point towards the west end of Fishers Island. I was doing thirty miles an hour, which was kind of fast for the seas, and a Coast Gaurd cutter intercepted me. They weren't fooling around either. They had the big gun on the bow pointed right at me and came across my bow. I slowed to a stop and waved. They saw I had commercial fish plates on the boat and was legit I guess, because the captain came out of the wheelhouse and waved back. They then moved on and so did I. I had nothing to hide but that big gun did scare the crap out of me.
I didn't get in until 10:00pm and found out about the attack. I actually called the New York Port authority and offered to bring my boat down, if they needed me or my boat, but they said they were all set.
