RedactedNarrative: A 65-foot Carver Yacht (V1) was heading south at approximately 15 knots in the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) in the channel south of Palm Valley Bridge (SR210) near channel marker 18. V1 then ran aground on a sandbar which protruded into the west side of channel.
  The four people on board were uninjured from the grounding.  The impact from the grounding caused a crack in the hull which allowed water to protrude into the engine room. The grounding also caused a crack in V1's transmission. 
  United States Coast Guard (USCG) Station Mayport personnel were on scene with a dewatering pump when FWC arrived.  We transported the four occupants in our patrol vessel to St. Augustine Municipal Marina.
  Commercial assistance, Seatow, arrived after our departure and towed V1 to St. Augustine Marine Center.  Marine Center removed the vessel from the water for emergency repairs.
