On 2/16/2013 in the evening at about 7:00 p.m. a 1979 39' Cross Auxiliary sailboat named the "AUKAI" was anchored in Port Townsend Bay, Jefferson County near Indian Island.  There was no one operating the vessel and it was at anchor.  Unexpected high winds caused the boat to drag off anchor and eventually it slammed into a Navy fence on Indian Island.  There was extensive damage to the vessel on the port side as a result of the waves and wind as it repeatedly hit the fence.   

No injuries. 
No fatalities. 
Alcohol was not indicated as a factor in this incident. 
Vessel damage was reported at $10,000. 
No one on board the vessel was wearing a PFD. 
A Boater Education Card was not required as the boat had been at anchor and did not have an operator when it dragged off station. 
There were no Rules of the Road operating violations.
