A boater aboard the Midnight Rocket calls for help after reportedly hitting a navigational buoy on the Columbia River and starting to sink May 12, 2015. The three boaters were able to safely ground their vessel on a beach near Skamokawa, Wash., where they were met by response boat crews from Coast Guard Station Cape Disappointment and then safely taken to Cathlamet where they could arrange vessel salvage services.
