Offshore Boat Sinks off Catalina Island

The local news in Southern California today reported that a "38 foot Speedboat sank 7 miles off of Catalina Island on Saturday". All four passengers were rescued and are fine.

Does anyone know anything about this?

On Saturday we ran north to Long Beach from Newport Beach, heading into sets of steep swells with a 3'-4' chop on top. It was rough, but not too rough, you had to pay attention. The run back was big fun.

A run to Avalon, Catalina would have had quartering seas in those conditions.
