    A blue and white vessel named 'Waters' has run aground on a rocky outcropping, listing heavily to one side with its hull fully exposed above the waterline. The incident appears to have occurred in a foggy, overcast coastal or fjord environment. Two red warning flags have been placed near the rocks, likely to alert other vessels to the hazard.

    The Coast Guard is investigating the grounding of the 70-foot vessel Waters, home-ported in Homer. The vessel struck the number four dayboard when it grounded on a rock in Narrow Strait north of Kodiak Island near the village of Ouzinke early this morning. A dayboard is a navigational beacon that clearly marks the channel when navigating in a restricted waterway. USCG photo by PA2 Sara Raymer
