One of Fairfield County's most prolific businessmen is safe after being rescued at sea. Jack Moffley, now in his 80's, is founder of Moffley Publications which recently underwent a name change to Moffley Media.

His firm publishes Greenwich and Westport magazines among others that cater to Fairfield County residents. Mr. Moffley was sail boating Sunday near Tod's Point in Old Greenwich when he apparently fell overboard. He was able to stay afloat due to his life jacket and holding on to a rope connected to the craft. The Advocate reports a good samaritan, John Wilcox, who was kayaking nearby, spotted Moffley in trouble and directed the Greenwich Police to the scene. Moffley was quickly resuced by another Greenwich boater named Eugene Miller who dove in and pulled him into his boat.

Moffley was treated at Greenwich Hospital and released on Monday.  Lt. Mark Kordick of the Greenwich Police says this is a good example of the importance of wearing a life jacket "all the time."
