National Park Service

A 42-foot boat grounded on the beach Wednesday morning at Cape Hatteras National Seashore, about one mile north of Oregon Inlet.

The three people who were on board the boat, ironically named Turn Back, were not hurt when it came to shore at about 7:30 a.m.

The National Park Service said the boat was turned back to the water within about four hours.
