SA: Two men rescued from rocks

Two men have been rescued from rocks off South Australia's Eyre Peninsula after their
boat became stranded.

Police say the men activated an emergency beacon at about 11 pm last night .. when
they got into trouble at Cape Carnot near Moonlight Bay.

They'd anchored in the bay to escape strong winds and bad weather .. but were forced
to abandon their vessel when it became stuck on rocks.

Local emergency crews lift the men to safety with the help of lighting from the state
emergency helicopter.

The men were taken to the Port Lincoln hospital for assessment.
