Seventeen people aboard a sinking boat were rescued off the San Diego coast. The Jig Strike was based at H & M Landing in Point Loma. Saturday morning, the 56-foot sportfishing boat was out on an excursion more than 100 miles off the coast of Point Loma when it ran into trouble. According to a statement Captain Patrick Dorety posted to Facebook, "At 10:35 this morning, while monitoring along out at Cortez Bank, we collided with something floating under the surface. The collision caused the portside bow to break away, and caused the jig strike to quickly take on water. I had enough time to grab the radio and put out a mayday call to the partner boats in the area, while the passengers were mustered to the stern and the crew passed out life jackets."
