I think their sails split....then they started taking on water and issued a distress....pretty rough seas.

Lots of water coming from the boat, I guess from a pump?

Lots of rescue boats following...

The pumps are working overtime --outflow visible port side, astern...

Looking at the deck they may have taken a rouge wave, but rough seas they ain’t.

It’s leaving a wake so it doesn’t appear to be foundering. Probably a bunch of seasick people on board.

Guess it's be too much to ask for it to be a celebrity cruise.
I'd hate to be Robert Wagner's date.

LAFD is releasing their assets (3 fire boats, 3 helos and lots of engines and ambulances)
USCG apparently has no assets to help that second vessel in distress....maybe they send a helo.
To: BurbankKarl
Ship is chartered by the Childrens’ Educational Foundation for a tall ship training program.

I've always wondered how that big boat got that far up onto the beach considering they were in a lagoon and protected from the main ocean surge.
I know there's NO DAMN WAY skinny, weak Gilligan & the fat, out-of-shape Skipper were able to get that up there!
To: Spktyr
My mistake- they aren’t coming in with tug- it appears they under their own power
