U.S. Coast Guard

Police in Oregon have arrested a Canadian man who allegedly stole a yacht and had to be rescued by a Coast Guard swimmer. He's wanted in what authorities call a series of “odd” events that involved him leaving a dead fish at the home in the film “The Goonies.”

Seven people were rescued after a large yacht took on water and became disabled 25 miles off the Washington coast. The U.S. Coast Guard said in a news release Monday that workers at Coast Guard Sector Columbia River command center received a radio call from the crew of the vessel at 6 a.m. Saturday.
