  Law Enforcement reported that on 11/04/2014, they received information regarding a possible boating accident that occurred on Bellingham Bay. The USCG reported rescuing a subject, on 11/04/2014, at about 03:28 a.m., off the side of his sailboat that had run aground in the area of the cement plant on Bellingham Bay located near Bellingham, WA in Whatcom county. 
  
  Operator did not sustain any injuries that required medical attention and was lifted to safety by a USCG helicopter. It was believed that the vessel was still aground on 11/04/2014. Law Enforcement checked the area and was unable to locate the vessel. It was assumed that the vessel was floated off the sea floor and is at an unknown location. 
  
  Law Enforcement has made several unsuccessful attempts to contact Operator at the phone number listed. Messages have been left with no return calls. Unable to contact anyone involved in the possible boat accident, Law Enforcement completed the WA State BAR using the information that was available.
