The vessel Allen Cody sank Saturday September 13th at approximatly 1800 hrs. Currently the US Coast Guard, Dept of Fish and Game and an enviromental cleanup company are on site. The vessel had been emptied of fuel and oils prior to sinking, however, enough diesel remained on board to create a sheen. A diver sealed remaining fuel leaks from the vessel by 1000 hrs on Sunday morning. Furthur cleanup of the surrounding area is on going. The vessel is expected to be raised on Tuesday.

Thanks for letting us know this. I hope the damage turns out to be minimal. I wish I was in the area to see how things are going.
