On August 1, 2009, a 17' Boston Whaler (HA 8573 C) was lost offshore of Mokumanu Island about 4 miles out. The owner fell off the vessel while the vessel was still in operation and he swam to the Kaneohe Marine Base.  He informed staff that the vessel has fuel and was heading in a Northerly direction and boaters should be cautious.  Based on wind and sea currents, the vessel could possibly come ashore in the Turtle Bay resort area.
