Eight souls rescued from wayward boat on Beaufort-area sea island. Are tides to blame?

Two vessels have run aground on Fripp and Hunting Islands in northern Beaufort County in July. One required a complicated Coast Guard rescue of 7 people and a dog — including two local rescue crew members. In the second case, a grounded sailboat remains on Hunting Island State Park.

The beached boats prompted a reminder from authorities for boaters to be mindful of coastal South Carolina’s huge tidal shifts, which can quickly turn smooth sailing into a shipwreck.

Lt. Cmdr. Carl Luxhoj, with Coast Guard Air Station Savannah, warned boaters of the unique conditions off the coast. “Due to the impressive range of tides in the Lowcountry region, we recommend all mariners check tides and currents before going out on the water.”

With one of the highest tidal ranges on the East Coast, and an average height of 8.5 feet between high and low tide, Beaufort County’s big tidal flow has been compared to a toilet with a powerful flush. But while that tidal power keeps area waters healthy and clean, it can also overwhelm uninitiated boaters .

Rescue effort needed

A rescue crew with Coast Guard Air Station Savannah responded to a vessel that ran aground on Fripp Island, just to the south of Hunting Island, on Sunday. Arriving in a MH-65 Dolphin helicopter, the crew hoisted five people and a dog from the 23-foot boat — in addition to two members from the Beaufort County Marine Rescue.

The local rescue unit had launched an airboat crew to assist the stranded boat, but the rescue boat’s engine quit upon their arrival.

The rescue turned out to be complex because it required so many trips, said Luxhoj. “Our crew did a great job of managing aircraft weight and power margin to conduct the hoists.”

This Fripp Island rescue had a happy ending, with crew members with the Beaufort County Marine Rescue recovering its airboat and the boat that ran aground. Those rescued were taken to Beaufort Executive Airport. No injuries were reported.

Boneyard beach claims another vessel

In the second case, a sailboat was reported July 12 on the south end of a popular stretch known as Little Hunting Island Boneyard Beach, at Hunting Island State Park, according to the South Carolina Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism. The sailboat was still on its shores as of Thursday, surprising visitors and prompting some complaints about its intrusion on the beloved beach marked with gnarly dead trees done in by erosion at the barrier island 15 miles east of Beaufort.

“Now ... There’s something you don’t see everyday,” Joe Zieran said on Facebook. “Shipwrecked sailboat on boneyard beach, Hunting Island, SC. “I hope it can be recovered and returned to it’s rightful owners.”

Zieran encountered the beached sailboat while hiking on Boneyard Beach last Thursday and was quick to take photographs that he shared on social media. He estimates the vessel to be to 20 to 25 feet long.

Jessica LeNeve Lindler also saw the boat Saturday when several young adults appeared playing around on it and jumping into the ocean.

Sam Queen, a SCPRT spokesperson, said the boat went off course and washed ashore and got stuck. No injuries were reported. “We’ve been in communication with the owner and SC Department of Natural Resources to get it removed, which we hope happens soon,” Queen said.

Why Northern Long-eared bats delayed the multi-million dollar expansion of a Henrico County park

Amid Talk of Border Chaos, Crossings Have Sharply Declined

Former President Donald J. Trump and the Texas governor are calling for a “secure border.” But actions by Mexico and President Biden have led to a period of relative calm.

• Share full article

By Miriam Jordan and J. David Goodman

Miriam Jordan covers immigration and J. David Goodman has reported on border operations in Texas since 2021.

The soaring number of unlawful entries at the southern border was always going be a central part of the 2024 presidential campaign.

On the campaign trail, former President Donald J. Trump has been showcasing a chart showing a rising mountain of migrant encounters at the border under President Biden. At the Republican National Convention, Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas got big cheers for his vow to continue busing migrants to liberal cities.

But amid the heightened rhetoric, the reality on the ground has recently changed.

There were 83,000 apprehensions of migrants last month, according to official data, down significantly from 117,000 in May. The June numbers represented the lowest monthly total since January 2021, and a significant drop from the record 250,000 recorded in December last year.

The decline has continued into July. The daily average of encounters at the border in the past week was under 1,900 as of Monday , according to a senior U.S. Customs and Border Protection official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal statistics.

At that pace, there could be about 60,000 crossings in July, similar to numbers seen at the end of the Trump administration. Here’s the latest on what’s happening at the border.

President Biden’s new policies reduced crossings. Mexico helped too.

Most migrants surrender to the U.S. Border Patrol after crossing unlawfully into the country and are then apprehended by agents. More than 2.4 million people were encountered by border authorities in fiscal 2023, a record.

Earlier this year, a bipartisan deal to tighten the border collapsed in the Senate after Mr. Trump prevailed upon Republican lawmakers to withdraw their support. That bill would have restricted asylum and set limits on the number of migrants admitted into the country.

Around that time, Mexico began intercepting migrants en route to the border, and unlawful entries began to drop in March.

They declined further after Mr. Biden, in the absence of action by Congress, issued an executive order in June that closed the border to migrants once the number of apprehensions reaches a certain number. The order empowered officials to swiftly deport those who cannot prove at the border that their lives would be endangered if they were returned to their countries.

The president invoked the same section of the Immigration and Nationality Act that Mr. Trump used to justify restrictions on asylum when he was in office.

Deportations have increased significantly to Latin America, and removal flights have also started to China. But many migrants come from countries that do not have diplomatic ties with the United States or that refuse to take back their nationals . They cannot be immediately flown out of the country, an obstacle that a Trump administration would also face.

Because the Biden administration has had to rely on his executive authority to implement immigration policies, another president can revoke them. Mr. Trump has pledged to do so.

Mr. Trump has also vowed to stop the “invasion” and to carry out mass deportations.

Texas crossings declined. Those in Arizona and California rose.

The southern border extends nearly 2,000 miles between the United States and Mexico, with 1,254 miles in one state: Texas.

For two years, Mr. Abbott has tested the limits of his power over immigration, deploying National Guard troops to the border, lining parts of the Rio Grande with concertina wire and passing laws that challenge the central role of the federal government in immigration enforcement. Other Republican-led states, like Oklahoma, Georgia and Iowa, have passed similar laws. Like the Texas law, most have already been blocked by the courts.

The slowdown in border crossings has been particularly evident in Texas. Many former hot spots, like Eagle Pass, have grown relatively quiet, as migrants increasingly cross further west, in Arizona and California.

In June, more people crossed into the Tucson area alone than into what had previously been the top crossing areas around El Paso and Eagle Pass, Texas, combined.

Mr. Abbott has claimed credit for the shift , though federal officials have attributed it mainly to actions in Mexico.

Texas has continued to bus migrants from the border to Democratic-run cities, but far fewer of the buses are running now. Almost all leave from El Paso, which borders New Mexico.
