On September 24, the Coast Guard received a report that a 25-foot sailboat had become stranded on Santa Rosa Island, part of Channel Islands National Park off the coast of Santa Barbara County, California. Emergency crews responded by helicopter and airlifted the sailor to Camarillo Airport, where they were evaluated by the Ventura County Fire Department. No injuries were reported, and the sailboat was later removed by a local towing company and taken to Ventura Harbor. The cause of the grounding and the identity of the rescued sailor remain undisclosed as of now.
