On Saturday afternoon, a call came in for a boat in distress at Willow Landing Marina, which is on Aquia Creek in eastern Stafford County. Two men were on board.
A flat-bottom boat had reportedly run aground in the low tide of the creek. That wouldn’t be as much of a problem had it not been for the high winds that were blowing on the sunny, 59-degree day. According to weather.com, the day’s wind speed was around 20 miles per hour, with gusts up to 33mph. The National Weather Service reported wind speed to be 23mph with gusts of 28mph.
