The Navy, Coast Guard and good Samaritan boaters teamed up last week to rescue two people from a burning boat about 17 miles west of Point Loma, California.

A weekend boating accident in the Great Lakes region led investigators to arrest a 32-year-old skipper who now faces alcohol-related charges.
