  Operator #1 stated to the effect, "We were heading back from fishing, and the engine just seized up and died. We drifted towards land, and the waves were crashing on the boat, so we jumped off and swam to shore. 
  
  Investigation Revealed:
  
  Vessel #1 was heading in a northern direction in the Atlantic Ocean, Belmar Borough, Monmouth County. For an unknown reason, the vessel sustained mechanical failure, and was inoperable. Subsequently, the vessel drifted towards land, where it struck a submerged rock piling. The vessel would continue to drift towards the shore, coming to a final resting place along the beach. Fearing for their safety, all three occupants of Vessel #1 donned a life jacket, jumped off the vessel into the water, and safely swam to shore. No injuries were reported. Belmar DPW was able to tow the vessel just prior to the roadway, where it was then trailered by Seaport Inlet Marina workers to the marina. Vessel #1 sustained several scrapes and gouges to the starboard side hull.
