Two boaters were dumped into the ocean off the coast of San Diego Wednesday when their 23-foot vessel overturned, possibly when it was hit by a whale, authorities reported.
The noninjury mishap was reported shortly after noon, according to the U.S. Coast Guard.
Another boater reported the accident and helped get the victims out of the water, USCG Petty Officer Connie Terrell said.
A commercial salvage vessel then was called out to right the foundered boat.
The boaters said they believed a whale struck their vessel, causing it to flip, Terrell said.
