Pleasure boat runs aground in Provo, concrete company comes to the rescue
PROVIDENCIALES, Turks and Caicos Islands – November 13, 2017 – It is said that the weather had nothing to do with a boat running aground at the Caicos Marina and Shipyard on Sunday morning, that it was a lack of familiarity of the waters there that got the pleasure boat stuck.
The at least 60-footer, ran around from shortly after 5am Sunday and was freed by near 3pm with the help concrete company, CBMS.
Police and civilians were on the scene as the tour boat – the Turks and Caicos Explorer II – was unhinged.
It was not clear how many were on board the vessel at the time it ran aground, but we are told there was a captain, small crew and 15 passengers.
Everyone is reported as safe.
