As if we haven't already seen enough trouble over this holiday weekend, the U.S. Coast Guard now reports a fish tender has run aground and ruptured a fuel tank in Prince William Sound.
The 110-foot Naknek Spirit, with five people aboard, grounded in Passage Canal six miles east of Whittier.
No injuries were reported, but the starboard fuel tank ruptured.
"The tank was reportedly carrying 2,000 gallons of diesel fuel, but crewmembers managed to transfer 1,500 gallons into an intact tank," the Coast Guard says.
No mention of the grounding of the Hana Cove or the Tazlina?
