A classic ten meter Chris Craft cabin cruiser with one person and a dog ended aground and beached in Ocean Park, Long Beach, Washington state after a mechanical problem and rough seas disabled it on Friday twelfth April. Michael Bonome the lone navigator in this story also ended in the water to rescue his dog, while trying to deploy his anchor. The locals brought an ambulance to the lone navigator, and also opened a GoFundMe account to help him return his boat back in the water. After navigating in the lakes and rivers, Bonome was trying his ocean navigation skills for the first time, when a mechanical problem put him in this situation. Bonome is waiting for high tide to return his boat in the water.
The Chris Craft in this grounding is a 33 Offshore model as produced in the seventies. The 33 Offshore was also offered in the 33 Sport Sedan variant, with a totally different convertible sportfish super structure and cabin layout. The Chris Craft 33 Offshore came out as a replacement to the Catalina 33 Sedan in around the mid seventies.
