The power boat, which apparently was holed, flipped onto its side and sank in about 5 feet of water next to the jetty.Lifeguards jumped into the water and tried to anchor the boat before it sank, to no avail, said Oceanside police Sgt. Leonard Cosby.The boat will stay on the sand until a flatbed truck can pick it up, 10News reported.Alcohol and drugs were not a factor in the accident, Cosby said.
