Jersey City just missed having it's own Gilligan's Island situation

Well, they would have needed two more castaways and the island they were stranded on would have had slightly more human inhabitation. A small wooden motorboat ran aground yesterday afternoon on a sandbar next to Liberty Island, home of Jersey City's own Statue or Liberty and had to be rescued by the Coast Guard.

No word on if the motorboat was on a three hour tour.

hmm, I wonder if the taxpayers going to liable for this incident, or will the competent boater have to reinburse for the emergency rescue??

Oh I think we both know the answer to that one. Back in Michigan it was always ice fishermen who were told to not go out on Lake St. Clair or the Great Lakes into March and yet, they went and there would always be costly rescues the taxpayers had to pick up....
