I read in today's SJMerc that a fireboat rescue out of PA failed Wed due
to the boat and 4 rescuers getting stuck in the mud. They freed
themselves and got back to shore at 9:20PM (after the tide changed...)
The article did report that the subject of their rescue attempt, a 24 yr
old Stanfurd student, was seen walking back thru the tullies to safety.
The article also said that they tried to launch a hover/swamp craft type
boat out of Menlo Park to rescue (either the rescueers or sailor??), but
it broke.
Not sure if this is the same rescue attempt. Sounds like I made a good
call not going WSing Wed since the fog was thick on the hills over
Stanfurd where I figured it could shut off....
