Yacht Sinks


Three people are safe after their 70 foot yacht sank off the coast of
Georgetown, SC, but their boat leaked hundreds of gallons of diesel fuel
into the water.

The ship grounded and sank near Winyah Bay Saturday morning. The three
stranded passengers radioed for help, and were taken to safety.

The Coast Guard says pollution investigators are now making an analysis
of the environmental impact. Investigators say the leak left a sheen
on the water that was visible from the air. The vessel was carrying up
to 7-hundred gallons of diesel fuel. So far, investigators say they
have not received any reports of impacted wildlife.

Wow, Harry! A boating related post. You should be commended, unless you
were just taking a jibe at someone with a bigger, nicer, more useful, and
definitely more seaworthy boat than yours.
