Following the shark attack, a boat capsized in Tomales Bay in Marin County. Rescuers responded and pulled three passengers from the choppy ocean water. “Crews encountered 8 to 12-foot waves during the rescue,” the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office said. “When the marine unit arrived, all three passengers were in the water and hanging onto the overturned boat. Because the Marine Unit was already deployed, they were able to respond quickly and rescue all three individuals.” ‘AI slop’: SFO museum criticized for AI-generated art exhibit, artist responds The people rescued from the water were cold but unharmed, the sheriff’s office said.
