A vessel radioed a semi-emergency in Glorietta Bay after reporting that a nearby boat had flipped and struck them in the anchorage just south of the golf course. The caller said Harbor Police were on patrol and asked for assistance and the transmission did not confirm whether a Pan Pan or Mayday was declared or whether the situation was later resolved. The report highlighted hazards at crowded anchorages and featured in this week's VesselAware digest.
