Friday Squid Blogging: Grounded Fishing Boat Carrying 16,000 Pounds of Squid

Rough seas are hampering efforts to salvage the boat:

The Speranza Marie, carrying 16,000 pounds of squid and some 1,000 gallons of diesel fuel, hit the shoreline near Chinese Harbor at about 2 a.m. on Dec. 15.

Six crew members were on board, and all were rescued without injury by another fishing boat.

As usual, you can also use this squid post to talk about the security stories in the news that I haven’t covered.
