Boat runs aground
Got this from Seattle Times online today:
"A Coast Guard cutter stationed at Port Angeles responded to a report of a 65-foot whale-watching boat, with 80 passengers aboard, that grounded north of Lopez Island late Wednesday afternoon. "Damage to the boat was minor, and by 8:30 p.m., the boat was floated by a high tide and was en route to Friday Harbor, a Coast Guard spokesman said." There were no injuries. Reminds me of the line about a motorist on mountain roads watching for rock slides who ran over a deer. -- |

The whales came for miles around to see the fools and have a good laugh. Casady |
