and that 17 of them were able to swim safely to shore after the 11:30
a.m. capsizing.
The three people picked up by a rescue boat were treated on shore and released.

boat beginning to sink after striking a break wall in the harbor. Two
people were picked up and their boat was towed.
There were no injuries reported.
