What sustained wind gusts ranging up to 28-miles-per-hour and turbulent seas to create, was repaired by several responding agencies, a handful of locals and foam usually used to repair leaking roofs.

On Wednesday, several local agencies responded to the Otra Vez, a 38-foot-yacht from Boothbay ran aground in Mill Cove, close to where it was moored.

The boat’s line to its mooring was sheared during high winds and violent seas during Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning.

Harbor Master Nick Upham was alerted by the Boothbay Harbor Police Department to the ship’s beaching at 3 a.m. Wednesday morning.

Upham said handiwork and manpower was all that was needed to free the boat, which is owned by Philip Soule of Durham.

“It took seven guys, some spray foam and ice and water shield,” Upham said. “We had to spray foam on the inside of the hull.”

The Boothbay Harbor Marine Patrol, harbor master, Boothbay Harbor Police Department, United States Coast Guard and several local volunteers responded to the stranded boat.

“It was a good collaboration between the town and locals,” Upham said. “We responded as fast as we could, and there were some locals here ready to help.”

Upham said that the 38-foot yacht would probably need repairs to its hull, rudders and propellers. There was also cosmetic damage to the ship’s starboard hull. It was hauled out on Wednesday.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) National Weather Service reported gusts of wind peaking at 28 miles per hour at 1:53 a.m., Wednesday morning at the Wiscasset Airport. NOAA also reported that from 3:53 p.m., Sept. 18 to 7:53 a.m. Sept. 19, the steady speed of wind in the area was between seven- and 16-miles-per-hour with gusts ranging from 17- to 28-miles-per-hour.
