   1. The fishing vessel Belair was driven onto the rocks at the southern exposed rocky shoreline of St. George Island during the early morning of February 2, 1994. At the time of the grounding, winds were 25 to 30 knots with gale force gusts from the south. Winds continued pounding the vessel with 10- to 25-foot surf for the next week. It is believed that all the fuel was lost during the first day. The weather prohibited any on-site evaluation of the vessel and the case was closed by the U. S. Coast Guard (USCG) on February 10, 1994. USCG district 17. Keyword: none.
   2. COMMODITY: DIESEL.
