Peninsula/Palo Alto Daily News/Joshua Melvin, 3/4/13. "Pacifica: Police surround stolen boat that has run aground." 10:59 AM update.
The three people aboard the Darling were not talking to authorities and "their relationship to the owner" was unclear, Coast Guard Ensign Corinne Gaines said. Authorities were weighing their next steps. The Coast Guard got word the boat was aground at Linda Mar beach just before 6 a.m. and have a rescue boat and helicopter at the scene. A rescue swimmer brought a radio to the people aboard the boat, but so far "they have not communicated well, if at all," said Gaines." Note: The article link above includes 5 photos.
