Investigators Struggle To Study Boat’s Grounding Near Dillon Beach
CBS SF Bay Area 3/10/2021 Syndicated Local – CBS San Francisco
MARIN COUNTY (CBS SF/BCN) The instability of a boat grounded since early Saturday on a rocky coastline near Dillon Beach in Marin County is hampering an investigation into whether any fuel spilled from the 90-foot vessel, the American Challenger.
A tugboat was towing the 90-foot American Challenger from Puget Sound, Washington, when a rope got tangled in the tug’s propeller Friday morning, setting the boat adrift.
Coast Guard Cutter Hawksbill responded to the scene, but the crew was unable to board the drifting boat to attach a tow line due to weather conditions, the proximity to shore and the unknown structural integrity of the unmanned vessel, according to a statement released Tuesday by the unified command of local, state and federal officials responding to the incident.
