Three adults, two dogs rescued from beached shrimp boat in Port Aransas
A shrimp boat, called F/V Second Chance, washed ashore just north of Horace Caldwell Pier in Port Aransas around 3 a.m. Wednesday morning. The three adults and two dogs aboard the “Second Chance” boat were rescued. No injuries were reported. According to the U.S. Coast Guard, problems with the boats anchor and mechanical issues caused it to lose power which led to it washing ashore Wednesday morning. Beachgoers on Wednesday were shocked to see this sight. The Coast Guard says that the damages to the “Second Chance” boat still need to be addressed. When the investigation is complete, a plan will be put in place to remove the vessel from the beach in Port Aransas. Video, more, >>CLICK TO READ<< 06:17
