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.

I hope they got to see a lot of whales while grounded!

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