The Coast Guard rescued a man and his dog Sunday afternoon after the man’s vessel ran aground on submerged pilings.
A U.S. Coast Guard Station Yaquina Bay 29-foot Response Boat-Small crew retrieved the man and dog off the fishing vessel Mickey, which is listing and stuck in mud in the Yaquina River.
U.S. Coast Guard Sector North Bend received the call for help at 1:52pm and directed the launch of the boat crew, which arrived on the scene at 2:16pm.
No injuries or pollution have been reported; however, the vessel has a reported 100 gallons of fuel onboard.
The owner of the vessel will work with the Port of Toledo to salvage the 36-foot double-ended troller.
The Coast Guard reminds mariners to carry up-to-date navigation charts or have properly functioning navigation equipment onboard the vessel.
