TowBoatUS Ventura & Channel Islands
Captains Carson and Paul responded to a fishing vessel who hit the island and began taking on water within the National Park and National Marine Sanctuary. To save the boat from sinking, the operator beached the vessel at the only place he could find, within a rocky surging cove. Our Captains made the 25 nautical mile trip out to Santa Cruz Island, and were able to navigate through submerged rocks to get dewatering pumps, a towline, and Captain over to the casualty vessel. Patches were made to the damage and once removed, pumps were kept energized for the tow across the channel and to a boatyard for an emergency haul out.
