Marine Unit Rescuing Boaters in Bodega Bay 12-19-22 (Sonoma Sheriff)
The Sonoma County Sheriff’s Marine Unit helped four people stranded in a boat get back to shore. On Monday in Bodega Bay, the Marine Unit was flagged down by a stranded boat adrift near Portuguese Beach. The boat had lost power and the passengers could not start their engine. The Marine Unit was able to get the boat running again which allowed it to get back to shore safely. The situation could’ve been worse as the boat could have easily drifted into the rocks and put the occupants in danger. The sheriff’s office reminds you, if you plan to get on the water, a portable battery jumper box can come in handy.
