Emergency crews in Sonoma County responded to two incidents Thursday involving boats damaged by the massive atmospheric river storm that struck the Bay Area.
Around 11:30 a.m., California State Parks alerted the Sonoma County Sheriff's Office about a sailboat at Bodega Harbor had run aground and was stuck on the rocks near Port Bodega. An investigation determined that the boat became dislodged from its anchor due to weather and sea conditions.
Deputies said Thursday that the owner of the vessel is working with the Marine Unit on a plan to retrieve the boat within 24 hours. When crews arrived, they determined that the boat was taking on water due to weather conditions and was sinking. They also found the boat was leaking fuel and liquid from its bilge.
