The Coast Guard continues its response to a sailboat that partially sunk outside Crescent City Harbor after striking rocks, last Tuesday evening, September 18th, according to a press release from Coast Guard Humboldt Bay.
Crewmembers from the sailing vessel Paxis 1, contacted Coast Guard Sector Humboldt Bay at approximately 9:00pm, Tuesday, requesting assistance after striking rocks near the Crescent City Harbor entrance.
Del Norte County Sheriff’s Marine Unit arrived on scene and evacuated the crewmembers without injury. The Coast Guard was unable to take the sailboat in tow due to the advanced state of flooding and submersion.
The Paxis 1 remains partially submerged outside the north jetty at the Crescent City Harbor entrance and is not showing signs of pollution.
Coast Guard Marine Safety Detachment Humboldt Bay personnel are working with the vessel owners and their insurance company to salvage the boat.
