Wider weather episode

A 24 foot cruiser was capsized by large waves at the Oceanside Harbor entrance. The three occupants were thrown into the water and suffered minor injuries. The boat did not hit the jetty, but the breaking waves caused major damage to the transom, large cracks in the hull, and partially tore the cuddy cabin from the hull.
