Boat Sinks off Oregon Coast

A quick response by the Coast Guard Monday night to a mayday call seven miles northwest of Newport. The three person crew of the 29-foot "Sea Star" reported their boat was taking on water. Petty Officer Eric Chandler says they sent a helicopter and two motor lifeboats. The boat was gone by the time the lifeboats arrived. It’s unknown what caused it to start taking on water. None of the crew was hurt.
