Newport: Fishing vessel “Scooter” not ‘scootin’ at the moment

Looks like the captain of the Fishing Vessel Scooter lost his way this morning while trying to get out through the fog to the jetties and out to sea. When the fog cleared, it became obvious that he zigged when he should have zagged and is now grounded between the South Beach Marina west entrance jetty and the public fishing dock.
The Coast Guard says high tide is at 3pm, so between noon and 3pm the skipper should be able to get his boat off the bottom.
