At 5 p.m. Monday night the boat broke down at the Line Creek inlet. The group was stranded until 7 a.m. Tuesday morning. The Elmore County Sheriff's Office responded to the scene and helped tow the boat to the Curlew Docks. Pine-Featherville EMS responded to the scene. There were no reported injuries for any member of the group, but they were reportedly cold and wet.
