Coast Guard rescues boater aboard flooding vessel
The U.S. Coast Guard recently seized a pair of panga boats and about 12,000 pounds of marijuana south- west of San Diego. Law enforcement took four sus- pects into custody.
intercepted two panga boats and an esti- mated 12,000 pounds of marijuana approximately 180 miles southwest of San Diego. Four suspects were taken into custody
and brought to San Diego for prosecution. While on patrol, a C-130 Hercules air-
craft from Air Station Sacramento detect- ed the pangas. Coast Guard Cutters Stratton, Haddock and Petrel were diverted to intercept the suspected smugglers. When the cutters arrived on scene, the
four suspects fled aboard one of the pan- gas, abandoning the second. After a brief pursuit, the Coast Guard crews detained the suspects and seized the panga they were aboard.
An additional law enforcement team
from Stratton discovered 491 bales of mar- ijuana aboard the panga that was left behind when the suspects attempted to flee.
The Petrel and Haddock’s crews trans-
ported the seized pangas and suspects to San Diego.
SAN DIEGO —A U.S. Coast Guard boat- crew rescued a man from a flooding ves- sel about 1 mile off the coast of Point Loma late last month. A commercial vessel towing service
contacted the Coast Guard around 5 a.m., reporting the 50-foot motorboat Patriot Seal was taking on water with one person aboard. A 45-foot response boat was dis-
patched from Coast Guard Station San Diego with a dewatering pump to assist the boater. The vessel had three dewatering pumps running, however the pumps could not keep up with the flooding. As the water level rose, the flooding caused the vessel’s electricity to short circuit, dis- abling the on board pumps. There was about 6 feet of water on the boat when the station crew arrived on scene to assist in dewatering the vessel. An uncovered porthole and two fin-
ger-sized holes below the waterline were discovered to be the cause of the flood- ing. The Patriot Seal owner covered the porthole, but was unable to plug the two holes. Using their pump, the Coast Guard
crew was able to reduce the water to about 1 foot. The pump was able to keep up with the flooding while the crew towed Patriot Seal to Shelter Island.

Keeping marinas clean
Sun Harbor Marina rid of underwater debris during vol- unteer cleanup.
By Ambrosia Brody
SAN DIEGO — Volunteer scuba divers and Stand Up Paddleboarders (SUP) scoured the watery floors – and sur- face — of Sun Harbor Marina during a special cleanup day on July 12. Hosted by Power Scuba, a non-
profit scuba group, in partnership with the non-profit H2O Trash Patrol that cleans up marine debris and San Diego Coastkeeper, volunteers helped rid the marina of garbage, bird deter- rents, a large drain pipe, wine glasses, umbrellas and other debris during the event. “We do cleanups periodically and wanted to do something other than a beach dive cleanup,” said Jonathan Weirick, vice president of Power Scuba. “We wanted to see what sort of impact we could have on the harbor and the marina.”
A total of 167 pounds of trash was collected with the giant metal pipe accounting for 75 pounds of the total.
Approximately 20 volunteer divers, 20 stand up paddleboarders from H2O Trash Patrol, and those on the land- side helped out at the event. “Nothing terrible like batteries or paint cans were found, so it looks like the marina tenants are doing a good job of keeping the place clean,” said Travis Prichard, Water Quality Lab manager and program director for San Diego Coastkeeper. Sun Harbor Marina tenants also did
their part during the cleanup, said Kathy O’Brien manager of Sun Harbor Marina. The marina LEED certified and cleanups are held on a routine basis to ensure the area is kept clean. H2O Trash Patrol, a nonprofit that has a contract with Oceanside to clean up the harbor twice a week, served as surface support for underwater divers, said Patti Diaz, co-founder and execu- tive director for the marine debris removal organization.
Another clean up is planned for
Sept. 20, which correlates with Coastal Cleanup Day. For more information on cleanup events, visit
