A 58-foot fishing boat that ran aground near Bodega Bay earlier this month is now destroyed. After the powerful storms and pounding waves of the past several days, nearly all that’s left of the Aleutian Storm is its hull. The mast, the pilot house, the cabin, and the decking are torn apart. The remnants of the once 57-ton boat now make up a debris field scattered across both north and south Salmon Creek Beach. All or most of the diesel fuel that had yet to be removed from the boat also appears to have leaked out. The final effort to pull the boat out of the surf and onto the beach, to shield it from the intense waves, failed last Friday.
