17 people rescued after San Diego based fishing boat sinks

Seventeen people aboard a sinking boat were rescued off the San Diego coast. The Jig Strike was based at H & M Landing in Point Loma.
Saturday morning, the 56-foot sportfishing boat was out on an excursion more than 100 miles off the coast of Point Loma when it ran into trouble.
According to a statement Captain Patrick Dorety posted to Facebook,
"At 10:35 this morning, while monitoring along out at Cortez Bank, we collided with something floating under the surface. The collision caused the portside bow to break away, and caused the jig strike to quickly take on water. I had enough time to grab the radio and put out a mayday call to the partner boats in the area, while the passengers were mustered to the stern and the crew passed out life jackets."

The legend is legend and is the only boat that I take out of San Diego on charters. Best crew, best captain.. good job guys

[@garyhainlinejr1688]

Great job to the Captain and crew. It didn't surprise me that the Captain was the last one off the boat.

Its very humbling you all covered this story. Thank you

[@Justvisiting498]

Outstanding job by the Captain and crew, H &M is top notch.

[@YACHTS.OVER.5M]

Cortes Bank is actually a rock like structure that comes near the surface becoming exposed sometimes depending on the tides. Something to consider.

[@navigator487]

There were two other boats there, so between the three, you would think their fathometers would have alerted them to the reef structure.

[@marcjohnson8594]

​@@navigator487the surf can get very big on that reef.

[@xzinx]

They hit something not rock

[@04charl08]

Might be a silly question, but what type of hull was that boat? Whatever was hit would have had to be something big and solid to sink aluminum or steel, no?

[@navigator487]

@@04charl08 A wood hull, I believe.

Offshore group is tight. Don't rely solely on others however in times of distress these boats got each other's backs.

[@keeledover4218]

There’s a lot more people out there than you think and that’s still well within a coastguard chopper range for rescue Plus the navy is always out there off San Diego

0:17 "The captain of the boat that sank for the first time!" How many times do boats typically sink?

[@matthewcooley9418]

Look up the Sea Jay sinking out of Channel Islands Sportfishing a couple years ago. They sank in shallow water and were able to, with the help of divers, re-float the boat and tow it in. So apparently a boat can sink more than once lol.

I was heading out from San Diego on a 27ft skipjack, the sky was over cast and the seas looked pretty white. We were doing maybe 15-20kts and to our surprise there was this white 10-12 foot dia tank maybe 25 feet long floating just out of the water ( maybe a 2 ft.) if we hadn’t been paying attention we could have hit it. We called it in to the coast guide as a hazard to navigation.

[@darrynkushman1]

It never matters where the Boat which landing or Port the boat is from ?? Distress or Mayday calls that is never a question .

Worked on that boat for 2 season. Not the first time captain pat has hit something. Look into him hitting north coronado island in 2010 while running the sea adventure 2.

Aloha. First of all, glad everyone is safe. Thank you captain. Just curious, how many times do boats usually sink? What did it hit?

[@mikedickinson9730]

It says while motoring…glad everyone was safely recovered. One of my fears is ending up in the water after dark. Glad this was during the day as recovery may not have been so successful. Thank you Jesus.

[@bbustin1747]

Struck a submarine under the water? We will never know

[@Thomthebomb48]

Russian or Chinese

[@Defundthemedia]

I knew three people aboard that boat the day it sunk. Not one of them remember running into or seeing any type of object in the water. I’m not calling the captain a liar because I was not there but things are not adding up. So that raises the question, could the nearly 50 year old boat not been well maintained and just fell apart? Guess we’ll have to wait for the coast guard to finish their investigation.

[@juliandrake3159]

I've been on the Legend and a number of other long range boats out of San Diego. Great crews on all those boats and safety is always the number one concern, getting fish is number two.

[@r8chlletters]

[@itslogical3884]

It would take a miracle for the boat to sink a second time.

[@bloblablah7409]

My guess is probably a submerged shipping container that fell off a cargo ship. A lot of times they stay submerged just beneath the surface for a while which has caused damage to many ships

[@tonyphan1221]

did it not have a life boat? anything going out that far should probably have a life boat

[@warpedweirdo]

USCG regs require enough life boats to accommodate everybody aboard. H&M's page for the boat shows a lifeboat canister sitting atop the cabin aft of the pilothouse. What leads you to believe the lifeboat didn't deploy?

[@jojothetasmaniansassmonkey8866]

@@warpedweirdo ​ because it was not mentioned, and seems like something that would naturally gotten mentioned when they where recounting everyone convening on the deck and life jackets being passed out.

[@warpedweirdo]

@@jojothetasmaniansassmonkey8866 Well, the life boat auto-deploys, so it isn't necessarily something that would come up when the captain narrates his last activities before leaving the boat. "Five minutes after we hit I rounded everybody up and gave the abandon-ship order. We got everybody into life jackets and off the boat. I then made a last trip through the boat to make sure nobody was missed, then I got off too. Oh, and the life raft auto-deployed when it reached the water." It is interesting that the news story makes no mention of how long everybody was in the water before help showed up. It seems help was close by though; maybe it was close enough that there was no reason to go through the hassle of struggling into the life raft.

[@bradleysimpson9819]

I watched the videos from the Legend and they were all in a giant life raft when they got picked up. The news just never tells the entire story.

Humans are omnivores, poorly suited to being pure vegetarians. It goes against "nature" to decry consumption of fish by humans. Like it or not, the vast majority of life on this earth survives at the expense of other life. Humans are no exception and, being top of the food chain, a single human's survival depends on the death of untold billions of living organisms.

@warpedweirdo Use your noodle. This occurred 100mi directly off the coast of a huge base at Point Loma. I have heard USN submariner personal accounts of mistakenly encountering leisure vessels as close to shore as the channel off Catalina Island. A Russian sub wouldn't be surfacing off shore.
