SAN DIEGO - Authorities arrested a man Monday after he was rescued from his stranded sailboat offshore from San Diego.
A sailboat went dangerously close the shore and ran aground on a reef at Sunset Cliffs around 4:30 p.m.
San Diego lifeguards swam out to the boat and attempted to bring the only person aboard to shore, but he refused help.
"The rudder broke, and the keel was stuck in the reef, so he needed to be removed from the boat," said San Diego lifeguard Lt. Greg Buchanan.
When lifeguards brought the man to shore, San Diego police arrested him on suspicion of being drunk while boating.
There were no reports of injuries. The boat was later towed off the reef to Mission Bay, where it was impounded by authorities.
