Police Assist After 23ft Boat Hits West End Reef
Officials received a call at approximately 8.20am this morning [June 11] from occupants onboard a 23-foot Wellcraft that ran into difficulties after a propeller hit a reef in the west end.
A Bermuda Maritime Operations spokesperson said, “It appears that the boat’s outboard engine’s propeller came in contact with a reef approximately one mile to the north west of Black Bay in Somerset. This resulted in the engine getting stuck in an upright position and the boat unable to move.
“The Marine Police unit ‘Rescue 1′ attended the scene and assisted by towing the stricken vessel with four persons on board to Cavello Bay. No one was injured in the incident.”
