Aid to Craft Delayed by False Report
Coast Guard aid to the 80 foot fishing boat Joseph Balestrieri, which radioed for help this morning, was delayed by an incorrect position report from the disabled vessel. The boat was not in serious distress. The vessel reported a broken water line flooding the engine room and two feet of water. The ship said it was between Anacapa and Santa Barbara Islands, but the dispatched unit could not locate it until it was established the boat lay between Anacapa Island and the mainland. The CG ship remained in contact and the Joseph Balestrieri appeared to be in no immediate danger.
