Yacht stranded on rocks of jetty
ABC 13 Monday 14th February, 2011
More: Got a story idea? Let us know! A 45-foot yacht was left stranded on the rocks of the Quintana Jetty. Folks at a nearby marina say a pair of fishermen were returning from a trip when their GPS malfunctioned and took them off course. It's unclear how fast they were going, but the yacht wound up right on top of the jetty. We're told no one was hurt. No word on when that boat will be removed, or how much it will cost.
