Looks like someone screwed up. At least she's not taking on water.

Well, the important issue, the 3 dogs are safe.
The SFBs that jeopardized the puppies should be locked up, on that island.

I listen to the news on this, and apparently the boat did not sink. The owner is working with the Coast Guard on getting into a marina to be hauled out. Nothing listed in the article regarding why he was so close to Alcatraz. There are no rocks that he could hit unless you actually hit the island.

Why were they rescued by helicopter when there is a perfectly good tender tied to transom in that photo? What a waste of resources if that's the case.

Interesting photo, green/red buoy in the background. Maybe the camera but does not look to far.
Oh, the helo ride better be billable.

Re: Alcatraz rocks.... Is this a Hat?
This was a Delta boat for many years. Willow Berm. New owner this year. There in fact is a rock on the NW corner of Alcatraz Island. It’s dry at low tide. Not the first casualty. I suspect he grounded during the ebb and wasn’t able to get her free until the next high cycle.”

Re: Alcatraz rocks.... Is this a Hat?
Little Alcatraz is a well known (to most, I guess) and marked rock outcropping. This isn’t the first boat to rest upon those rocks. Inexperienced operator not looking at a chart, plotter, or buoy. Expensive lesson.
