A man was rescued on Mar 23, 2011, near Hat Island after using a dinghy to escape his burning boat. Flames ripped through the 31-foot boat, sending a large plume of black smoke over the water. A passing boater picked up the man. Everett police divers were in the area doing some training and brought the man onto their boat. The crew aboard the "Kittitas" took a detour from their run to Clinton and helped extinguish the blaze. The Coast Guard sent a MH-65 Dolphin helicopter from Port Angeles and a boat from Seattle. Local firefighters launched boats from Kayak Point. The boat eventually sank. reports with photos: http://heraldnet.com/article/20110323/BLOG41/110329928/-1/news01 http://www.pnwlocalnews.com/whidbey/swr/news/118516809.html
