SEATTLE - The Coast Guard assisted four people on a sailing vessel that ran aground at the south end of Lopez Island, Wash. today. Coast Guard Group Port Angeles received a call from the 36-foot sailing vessel, the Shekinech, that they had ran aground and needed assistance. A Coast Guard HH-65C Dolphin helicopter crew from Coast Guard Air Station Port Angeles and a Coast Guard 33-foot small response boat crew from Coast Guard Station Bellingham also launched to the scene. Upon arrival the 33-foot small response boat pulled the Shekinech off of the rocks while the helicopter hovered in case of further complications. A commercial assitance vessel arrived at the scene and established a tow enroute Oak Harbor on Whidbey Island, Wash. No injuries were reported.

At the beginning of the video the anchor can be seen full of sea weed. CQR/plow anchor. Anchor fouled w/weed when at lunch/napping or was deployed to stop drift. No ones fault but the operator/capt. It does have sails.

What a shame...such is the danger of a lee shore.

Thank goodness for the coasguard volunteers. Everyone needs a plan 'b' sometimes. Not sure why the yacht crew didn't just drop an anchor when they got in to trouble though.

How did they get into this situation....did the boat survive? Thanks for posting, giving me a fine example of what not to do.
