SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – A Gofundme has been created for the crew of a fishing boat that overturned.

The 24-foot fishing boat named Obsessed capsized off the Santa Barbara coast early Thursday morning.

Fisherman Travis Meyer had just restored the boat.

When the bait tank got clogged it leaked for several hours while he was asleep.

When he woke up he called for help and was rescued by nearby boaters and the Coast Guard.

TowboatUS, out of Ventura, brought the boat to shore.

A Gofundme has been set up to help Meyer rebuild at https://gofund.me/46a54d8d.
