"A Navy helicopter plucked Mark Greenwald, 8, Seattle, from the shore of Hat Island near here late Saturday after his grandfather beached a 16-foot outboard in high winds."
"Kenneth Haavig, 59, Seattle, took his grandson on a fishing trip. Strong winds forced him to beach his boat. A patrolling helicopter crew spotted them and took the boy to safety. Haavig elected to remain with his boat to keep floating debris from damaging it. A Coast Guard cutter picked him up at 5 a.m. Sunday.
"It was miserable cold," Haavig said, "but I was too busy keeping logs away to worry about anything else."
