Coast Guard Oversees Second Yacht Salvage in a Year off Culebra

The Coast Guard is keeping watch on an effort to refloat a large yacht that went aground over the holidays off Culebra, Puerto Rico. 

At about 1030 hours on December 30, watchstanders at Sector San Juan received a report from a Coast Guard boat unit reporting that an 80-foot yacht – the Runaway – had run hard aground on a reef near Ensenada Honda, a large bay on the island’s south side. The vessel was taking on water, and there were four people and two dogs aboard.
