RedactedNarrative: Vessel - 1977, 23' Glasply Cuddy Cabin Motorboat w/233 hp Ford 351 CU Engine 
  
  On 07/20/2015, at about 01:00 p.m., this vessel was trolling/fishing in the Straits of Juan de Fuca, between False Bay and Eagle Cove located near Friday Harbor, WA in San Juan county. 
  
  Operator1 reported that they were fishing on the South side of San Juan Island when the wind started to pick up and the tide turned to incoming.  She instructed the others on board to bring in their lines so that they could head in.   
  
  Operator1 added power, the boat almost came up to plane, then quit.  It was determined by her husband that it was a fuel starvation issue.  He changed the filters while Operator1 hailed another boat close.  The other boat threw them a line but they missed it.  At that time they hit the rocks. 
  
  Operator1 and the others had to wait for a safe place to get off the boat.  The water was too deep for their anchor line and they hit the rocks before the anchor could be removed from the water.  Vessel assist arrived but was unable to get to the boat because of the rocks. 
  
  After everyone was off the boat safely, a Coast Guard helicopter picked them up.  All fuel on board was able to be pumped out resulting in no fuel spill.  The boat was intact when those aboard were airlifted out but broke up some time later.
