05-18-13 HARRISON TOWNSHIP, MI Fumes suspected in Harrison Township boat explosion It was back to business on Sun. (05-19) at Roy’s Boat Harbor in Harrison Township with boaters stopping in for fuel, supplies and snacks just 24 hrs. after a boat caught fire there, exploded and sank to the bottom of the Clinton River. The captain and passenger of a 1988 34-ft. Wellcraft suffered minor injuries and burns in the explosion that took place about 3:35 p.m. Sat. (05-18) as they were gassing up the vessel for an afternoon of cruising Lake St. Clair. “Once they were done putting gas in the tank, they hit the ignition button and the boat blew up,” said Macomb Co. Sheriff Tony Wickersham. The explosion and resulting fire sent thick plumes of black smoke billowing into the air from the harbor on S. River Road and could be seen for miles. The 2 men on board, a 44-y/o Warren man and his 42-y/o- passenger from Sterling Heights, escaped from the burning vessel with burns to their chests and arms. They were taken to an area hosp. for treatment, but their condition on Sun. (05-19) was not known. Wickersham said investigators theorize the novice captain did not turn on the bilge blower, which would have ventilated gas fumes from the engine, before he started the engine. The 2 men, who filled the tank with about $120 worth of gas, were taking the vessel out for the 1st time and not thoroughly familiar with how to operate it, officials said. “They were super nice guys but we found out later it was their first boat and they had no idea what they were doing,” said Keith Cunningham, owner of Roy’s Boat Harbor. The sheriff said that once the vessel caught fire, harbor employees tried to extinguish the flames before they cut the boat loose from the dock and pushed it into the middle of the river. If the workers hadn’t taken that action, the flames might have ignited the gas tanks under the dock, which would have caused an enormous explosion. The flames were eventually extinguished by the Macomb Co. Sheriff’s marine patrol vessel, along with firefighters from Harrison Township and Mount Clemens. The boat eventually sank to the bottom of the river. Late Sat., a commercial salvage company towed it out of the water, at the owner’s expense.Read full story here.
 
05-19-13 POMPANO BEACH, FL Boat Pulled to Shore After Capsizing in Pompano Beach What should have been a leisurely day out on the boat turned into a workout for those pulling and tugging at a small but heavy vessel that capsized in Pompano Beach Sun. afternoon. (05-19). "The boat was starting to sink, they all jumped off the boat. The boat went down right off shore there," said Brad Burner, who watched the struggle on the water. The 19-ft. boat lost the battle to the choppy waters about 30 yds. offshore off  N.Ocean Boulevard. Janine Keish and her boyfriend were walking along the beach when they say the boat's passengers jump off. "[We] jumped into the water and helped pull everyone out and pull their stuff out," Keish said. The Broward Sheriff's Office responded. A commercial towing company was also standing by just in case. It appeared the group had a plan. With some rope, a little and a little elbow grease, they used a pick-up truck to haul the boat closer to land.
"They're just trying to get it out of the water, without costing too much money. They're manually pulling it in," said Keish. Read full story here.
 
05-19-13 TUFTONBORO, NH Londonderry Teen Injured After Crashing Boat Into Island A Londonderry teen and one of his passengers was injured when he crashed a boat into an island in Tuftonboro over the weekend. New Hampshire State Police Marine Patrol received a call at 12:30 a.m. Mon. (05-20) reporting a boat accident at Chip Island in Tuftonboro.

No information on the extent of Peterson’s or the passenger's injuries was immediately available. The remaining 5 passengers were treated at the scene. The boat sustained disabling damage but did not pose an environmental threat, state police said. The state Dept. of Environmental Services was notified of the boat's location as a precaution and the boat's owner will be making arrangements for its removal. The cause of the collision remains under investigation, but state police said there was limited visibility at the time of the crash due to rain and fog. Alcohol was not a factor.

That search ultimately led to the discovery of the man's body by early Sun. night. Neither man in the canoe was wearing a life acket when the canoe tipped over. Authorities said they know the identity of the man who drowned, but since they're in the process of notifying his family, they're not releasing his name at this time. Read full story here.

Captain Lisa Jenkins, who works for StarLite Cruises, was at the helm of the Sealife Safari navigating the ICW Sat. afternoon (05-18) near Clearwater. She noticed a boat on the left side of the vessel taking on water. The stern end of the boat was already submerged.

Jenkins radioed for help as the scene unfolded;  the USCG and FWC assisted with the rescue of the remaining passengers. The owners of Island Marine Rentals had the boat towed back and say it was in good working condition when it left the dock.  The boat has a current safety check decal and is rated to hold 13 passengers. Julia Kirkham and her husband own Island Marine Rentals and say they are diligent with safety checks, especially when it comes to the number of people on a boat. "It was nothing that they did.  It was nothing that we could even anticipate.  We made sure that all the safety equipment was on board, everything was taken care of for them.  They were rescued.  We are so grateful that they were not harmed," said Kirkham. FWC is still investigating what caused the boat to take on water.Read full story here.

The 2 — a man and a woman — had anchored the aluminum Jon boat just downstream from Sans Souci Island shortly before 3 p.m. when it started to sink, according to officials with Waterloo Fire Rescue.

Investigators said they are now waiting on coroner's report and other tests to give them more answers about the accident. "We are going to have an analysis made. I am sure the coroner will check into that for us. So we can ascertain if they were under the influence of narcotics," said Byrd. Read full story here.

05-16-13 BEVERLY, MA Four people rescued after boat capsizes off Beverly beach Authorities rescued a couple and their 2 young children from the water off Lynch Park Thur. afternoon (05-16) after their sailboat capsized in heavy winds. The incident was reported to police at 2:39 p.m. Harbormaster Daniel McPherson said the couple had been sailing in relatively shallow water when their 12-ft. sailboat overturned. “The wind was just too strong for that,” he said. All 4 people were wearing their lifejackets and the couple managed to get their 2 children — a 3-y/o boy and a 5-y/o girl — back onto the boat. All told, the parents were in the water for about 10 min. and the children under 5 min.
The 4 were transported back to land via a harbormaster patrol boat and then to Beverly Hosp. by ambulance. The hospitalization was a precautionary measure and no injuries were reported. McPherson said that the water temperature was cold enough — about 49 degrees — that any of the 4 could have developed mild hypothermia. He said the parents were likely novices and that more experienced boaters would have stayed out of the water due to the small craft advisory in effect at the time. Police and the FD stood by during the incident. Read full story here.

Alaska State Troopers, wildlife troopers and firefighters searched the Chena River for several hrs. with multiple boats in water, on foot and in a trooper helicopter Sun.

At 10 p.m., a resident returned home after several days away and reported that his home had been broken into and several items, including a yellow kayak, had been stolen. These items were matched to the items recovered at the river with the kayak. Evidence indicates that Graham had broken into the house and had been living there for several days before stealing the kayak as well as jewelry and other items.Read full story here.

05-13-13 HYDE PARK, NY River search resumes after body of missing paddler found The search will begin again for a Dutchess Co. man who has been missing since December 2012 on the Hudson River. Plans for a renewed search come after authorities recovered and identified a 2nd boater, who washed ashore this week. Baylin Coddington, 27, of Millbrook was identified through dental records Wed. (05-15) after being found near the Hyde Park train station Mon (05-13). Coddington and Barrett Raymond, 31, of Hyde Park have been missing since overturning their canoe near Rogers Point Boat Club on Dec. 21. Authorities searched for Raymond along the riverbank within a mile radius of where Coddington was discovered and enlisted the help of kayakers Mon., said Hyde Park Police Chief Eric Paolilli. Paolilli said his dept. will coordinate with the Dutchess Co. Sheriff’s Office and state police to resume the search. The chief said he will ask the Sheriff’s Office to provide boat patrols along the river and the state police to perform searches with a helicopter. Dr. Kari Reiber, the Dutchess Co. medical examiner, said that as water temperatures increase, drowning victims often emerge. While there is no certainty, Reiber was optimistic Coddington’s recovery is a good sign for finding Raymond. Paolilli said police are using the area where Coddington was found as a starting point for their search. Coddington was found by a kayaker on the river who saw the body and called police. Reiber said the cause of death was drowning, with hypothermia as a contributing factor. Coddington and Raymond fell into 39-degree Hudson River water near the Vanderbilt Mansion in Hyde Park when their canoe tipped roughly 200 yds. offshore last December. Within 15 min. of falling into the frigid water, Coddington, who wasn’t wearing a life vest, would have become incapacitated and would not have been able to keep himself afloat, Reiber said. She referred to it as “cold shock.” Reiber said a lifejacket could have helped Coddington survive by keeping him afloat even after he was unconscious. She said wearing a vest on the water is as important as a seat belt in a moving vehicle. A 3rd man, 29-y/o Michael Mauer of Hyde Park, swam to shore, knocked on the door of an apartment and alerted police, who searched the land and water but were unable to find the missing men.Read full story here.
 
05-19-13 NEWBURYPORT, MA Body recovered said to be sailor—Richard Decker went missing in November A body recovered in the Merrimack River Sun. afternoon (05-19) at the Newburyport YC is believed to be the remains of Richard Decker, the German national reported missing in November after he presumably fell into the chilly river and and drowned, according to police and yc employees. Newburyport police Lt. Richard Siemasko said the body, which was heavily decomposed, was transported to state’s medical examiner’s office for DNA testing. Making the process more difficult for examiners is the absence of teeth or fingerprints. Police are working on the assumption  that it’s Decker, adding it could be many weeks before the identity of the body is known. According to the yc, at around 2:40 p.m. a member found the body washed up against the docks. Police cordoned off the area where the body was found and called state police, harbormaster and USCG, treating the marina like a crime scene. Two CG personnel eventually hoisted the remains out of the water. It was only last week that Decker’s yacht, a 37-ft. Endeavor, was placed up for auction by city officials. No relatives came to claim ownership of the boat, leading Newburyport officials to take the unusual step of placing a person’s property up for bid. Decker, 51, bought the sloop last fall with the intention of living on it. He was reported missing 6 months ago when the CG discovered his swamped dinghy tied to the boat’s stern near the mouth of the fast-flowing Merrimack River. His dog was tied to a park post across the river. Officials do not know exactly what happened to Decker, but they theorize he fell overboard and drowned when his dinghy line became entangled in the sailboat’s propeller and he attempted to free it while en route to a dock to retrieve his dog. Read full story here.
