A woman in her 50s found floating in Mission Bay on the night of September 15, 2010,  was rescued by paramedics. The woman was boating with her friends near Quivira Way towards the south end of Mission Bay. It took the paramedics 15 minutes before they found the woman floating in the water.

Paramedics immediately rushed the woman to Mercy Hospital where her condition is still unknown. The exact cause of this boat accident is not clear. Investigating officers need to get answers to many questions.  Was there a mechanical fault in the boat that caused the woman to fall overboard? Was the boat driver intoxicated or under the influence of drugs or alcohol? How did this woman go missing for at least 15 minutes and why did her friends not know where she was? Was the woman wearing a flotation device and, if not, why not?

Our office offers our sincere sympathies to the injured woman and hope that she fully recovers.  Hopefully she has not suffered any brain injury due to lack of oxygen.  The woman may very well wish to consult with an aggressive boating accident lawyer who can advise her of her rights and discuss her case with her.

Taking a boating safety course is not only required by California law, but is important to keep you and your family safe.

One such boating safety course is being offered by The United States Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla 12-02. The two session course called ‘About Boating Safely’ is to be held at the VIMS (Virginia Marine Sciences) Building in Wachapreague and will begin on April 17, 2010.

The course is designed to create awareness of boating safety for jet-ski and motorboat users alike. With the constant stream of breaking news on boating disasters, it is good that a safety course is being held. Not everyone is well versed with using the safety equipment, trailering, and navigation for sailing and motor vessels.

An 8-year-old boy was killed and 6 other people injured in a San Diego boat accident in the San Diego Bay when a US Coast Guard patrol boat crashed against a recreational boat just before 6 p.m.  All the victims were taken to UCSD Medical Center.

The boating accident happened during the annual San Diego Parade of Lights which features dozens of boats with Christmas lights sailing around the Bay.  It is unknown whether the recreational boat was part of the celebration but could have just been a spectator boat.

Our prayers and thoughts go out to the friends and family of the young boy who died.  It is a tragic loss.
