Calm waters and a timely response from the United States Coast Guard prevented a potential disaster near Sturgeon Bay on Thursday. Members of the United States Coast Guard Station Sturgeon Bay responded to a vessel near Rock Quarry in Sturgeon Bay that had lost its steering controls. Coast Guardsmen were able to tow the vessel into the city limits for repairs. According to station officials, a slight increase in the sea state, which was already at three to five feet, could have caused the boat to capsize. We will provide more details as soon as they are available.
