On 04/16/2012, at about 04:26 am, a 1967 35' cabin motorboat, "SISKIN" was anchored at Fidalgo Bay near Cap Sante Marina entrance break wall.  According to Subject, he set anchor 2 days prior to the incident due to an impending storm.  He set anchor with 25' of line in 11.5' of water.  When he awoke, the boat was drifting as the anchor had pulled when the weather came up and the winds started blowing.  He was unable to get the motor started in time before they were thrust out into the rock jetty at the entrance to Cap Sante Marina.   Subject and his passenger were able to get into a skiff and get off of the boat.   

The boat appeared to be a total loss as the hull was almost completely destroyed by the rocks.  Subject was advised by law enforcement that he would need to contact a salvage company to salvage his boat. 

No injuries were sustained.  There were no apparent signs of alcohol.  Damages estimated at $15,000.00
