On 10/13/12 at 1:00pm, vessel, HA 4952 G, a 30' sailing vessel grounded near channel marker #6 at the Keehi SBH.  One person was on the vessel at the time.  There was no hazmat aboard the vessel.  Spoke to the owner, who has Progressive Insurance.  He was working with Vessel Assist to remove the vessel, if the insurance company would cover it.  The policy only covers liability to others, so he isn't sure whether or not it will cover the removal.  I will be talking to the insurance company this morning.  Currently, the vessel has moved closer to shore near Channel marker #8 and it is sitting on it's side.
