RedactedNarrative: HFD contacted me regarding a 41’ catamaran named KUULEI ALOHA II, Reg. No. HA 6794 G, that went aground around midnight near Baby Makapuu. The owners and the vessel came out of Kewalo Basin. Currently the owner is having a consultant help provide information on how to remove the vessel. The vessels hull is ripped out and is currently starting to break up. The vessel owner has insurance and is working to get a contract this morning if the insurance allows for it. CG was informed that there was some diesel  in the water last night and the owner was issued a citation for the fuel leak. Coast Guard will be out there at 8 AM this morning to assess the remaining 20 gallons of diesel that may still be on board the vessel.  I will keep in touch as well as the owner throughout the morning to ensure that there is a salvage plan to remove the vessel and any items that may be in the water. 
  
  Owner/operator narrative:  Lost power in one of two engines during nighttime sail.  While trying to restart engine, did not realize how close he was to shoreline.  Wind and waves grounded boat.  Vessel was a total loss.
