The Coast Guard rescued three people from a vessel on the rocks in Anacapa Island near Port Hueneme, Calif., Wednesday.

The operator aboard the Salty Jack, a 24-foot bayliner pleasure craft, notified watchstanders at Sector Los Angeles-Long Beach command center that the vessel was grounded on the rocks near Anacapa Island.
