told the television station<\/a> that the Discovery got caught in a series of waves. <\/p>\n\u201cThey could not get over that wave,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd it grabbed the nose of the boat, turned it to the left, and they started listing. And it pushed them onto the dry reef.\u201d <\/p>\n
Brockington said it was \u201cunreal.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt almost looked like it was going to flip, but they corrected,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd the ship was surfing. I’ve never seen that before \u2014 a boat of that caliber, size.\u201d <\/p>\n
The Discovery eventually drifted against a concrete wall that lines the shore.<\/p>\n
An email seeking comment was sent Sunday to Atlantis Adventures, which owns the Discovery. The company told KHON on Saturday that the two experienced crew members aboard the boat were not injured.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are working closely with all government regulatory agencies to have the shuttle boat safely removed from where it was grounded, towed back to its pier location and thoroughly inspected before it is returned to service,\u201d Atlantis Adventures told the station. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"HONOLULU — A yacht-sized passenger boat ran aground in the high surf off a Hawaii beach over the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":73725,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[52632,23,966,37301,793,3,795,21,19,22,20,25,24],"class_list":{"0":"post-73724","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-united-states","8":"tag-52632","9":"tag-america","10":"tag-article","11":"tag-coastlines-and-beaches","12":"tag-general-news","13":"tag-news","14":"tag-u-s-news","15":"tag-united-states","16":"tag-united-states-of-america","17":"tag-unitedstates","18":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","19":"tag-us","20":"tag-usa"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73724","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=73724"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73724\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/73725"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=73724"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=73724"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=73724"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
