RedactedNarrative: Coast Guard saves mariner from disabled vessel before it capsized off Sand Island  - $5000 Lost/totaled
  6/11/22 – Honolulu, HI 
  The U.S. Coast Guard on Saturday rescued a mariner who was spotted 400 yards off Sand Island in a disabled vessel. The vessel was reported to Coast Guard watchstanders around 7:50 p.m. and in less than three hours, the Dolphin helicopter aircrew located the vessel and hoisted up the mariner. The mariner was said to have had no anchor, radio or phone battery while trying to gain communication with the Sector Honolulu watchstanders. Aircrew members stated that the 10-foot disabled vessel had capsized shortly after the rescue. The mariner is in good condition, according to the Coast Guard. 
  
  OU debriefed operator. He was operating the vessel when the engine overheated. He tried using the trolling motor but it wasn't powerful enough against the swell/currents. When the engine stalled, water rushed into the boat. It was approx half full of water when the Coast Guard arrived. It didn't capsize until he was starting the hoist with the helo. He had an anchor and line that was not attached and probably sank in position. He also had a 15 hp Force
  motor, a Minn Kota trolling motor, 4 life jackets, a red fuel can w/ 3 gal gasoline, an aluminum
  paddle, and a Duralast marine deep cycle battery. He considers the vessel a loss and will not likely attempt to retrieve. If he does, he will notify SCC. Vessel is not registered in his name, # is on the hull

  I believe this vessel sank and was blocking the channel to Honolulu Harbor. DOT Harbors contracted with American Marine Corp to re-float the vessel, take it to Pier 19 and eventually lift it with a crane and dispose.
