Slim Chance For Yacht Survivors
The Coast Guard says there appears to be little chance anyone aboard the yacht Goodwill survived its wreck off the Baja California coast about 200 miles south of San Diego. Wreckage was found on a reef with two bodies recovered nearby, one identified as 15 year old Jim Smith from Fountain Valley, California. Nine California residents were aboard, and the boat was owned by Ralph Larabee of Newport Beach, who was aboard.
