Things went south quickly after the 9 p.m. launch for the yacht and its crew, according to Anacortes police captain Lou DÂ’Amelio. The boat started to roll on its side in shallow water. The crew rushed into the engine room to modify ballast. Obviously, that tactic failed.

As the ship persisted to roll, the engine room flooded, explains the Valley Herald. ThatÂ’s when the crew decided to abandon ship.
