Sail-World.com : Former President Bush's boat runs aground

Former President Bush's boat runs aground

'Former President George H.W. Bush’s boat, Fidelity IV, ended up stuck for hours Monday on Gooch’s Beach near his home in Maine.'    Ebonie Burritt
Beach-goers in Maine had an unexpectedly close encounter with former President George H.W. Bush when his fishing boat ran aground.

Bush can often be seen piloting his 38-foot boat off the coast of Kennebunkport. This time, the Fidelity IV ended up stuck on Gooch's Beach for several hours.

It's not clear who was steering the boat, but the former president and some family members were aboard, Bush's personal assistant Jim Appleby told SeacoastOnline.com. The boat had trouble navigating through heavy fog that rolled in at midafternoon and got caught in swells that pushed it onto the public beach, Appleby said.
