Boat capsizes on big Island; no one injured

Advertiser Staff

A boat carrying two adults and a child capsized about a half mile off shore of Kona International Airport in Keahole, the Big Island this morning.

The 12-foot Alii Kai boat capsized and the adults were found clinging to the vessel by another boat. The adults told firefighters that a large swell capsized the boat about 10:46 a.m. The passing boat took the child on board and called for help.
No one was injured and the adults were taken to Honokohau Harbor. The U.S.Coast Guard helped tow the boat back to the harbor.
