58-foot fishing boat runs aground in Huntington Beach, CA
A 58-foot fishing boat, the Pacific Bully, ran aground early Tuesday morning, leaving four passengers stranded near the beach just north of the Santa Ana River jetty at about 3:20 a.m. My fiance called me at work and told me about this, so I jumped in the car and headed down to RJ’s. I did not realize that the fishing boat was on the north side of the river jetty, so I headed back home and grabbed Sharon’s “Canon G7” and rode my bike back down to the beach to take the following pictures.

Deputies with the Orange County Sheriff’s Department and The U.S. Coast Guard was also responded to the boat, rescuing its four passengers without any injuries. For some odd reason “Homeland Security” also showed up.

This is a fellow businessman holding cables to the distressed vessel keeping the damage to the vessel at a minimum.

A salvage contractor has been called out to remove the boat and any threat of pollution. The Coast Guard told me that high tide was at 5:00pm today and that they would have to wait until then to try to remove the grounded vessel.

This of course would never stop any true surfer from heading out to sea to catch some waves!
