City News Service is reporting U.S. Coast Guard crews rescued several crews of boats caught in the storm that swept over the Los Angeles Basin Monday afternoon.
No serious injuries were reported, but mariners were warned that gale- force winds and swells up to about 25 feet are possible over the next few days, said Coast Guard officials based in San Pedro.
A Coast Guard helicopter was keeping watch over a 56-foot sailboat beset by strong winds and waves off Santa Cruz Island as the crew tried to make its way to a safe port, authorities said Monday.
Another Coast Guard crew was towing to port a commercial fishing boat that lost power
about 12 miles west of Point Fermin, and a commercial towing company was helping a
disabled 30-foot sailboat make its way back to Ventura Harbor.
Finally, a Coast Guard environmental team was also monitoring a 42-foot pleasure boat that sank at Berth 85 in Los Angeles Harbor because of the possibility of oil and fuel leaks.
