TWO PEOPLE SAFE AFTER BOAT RUNS AGROUND NEAR EVERETT, WASH.

SEATTLE - Two people are safe today after their 20-foot pleasure boat
ran aground near Everett, Wash., this morning.

Coast Guard Sector Seattle received a call on VHF channel 16 from the
Port of Everett at 3 a.m., reporting a pleasure boat was aground about
one mile west of Everett with two people aboard.


Let me guess; they were trying to go up the wrong side of the Jetty?




For those unfamiliar with the area, POE is on the right and the Jetty is
dead center in this image: http://tinyurl.com/7znux
Most of the light brown area west of the Jetty (with the nice crosshatch
pattern) dries at low tide, and is *very* shallow at even at high tide.
