The tug Arabella and an 100 foot long barge went aground near a jetty in Ponce Inlet, Florida.   The tug and barge were approaching near the jetty when the tug lost power allowing the vessels to run aground onto the rocks.  The crew of the Arabella contacted the Coast Guard who dispatched to rescue boats to the scene.   The rescue boats pulled both the Arabella and the barge free.   No injuries and no pollution released.
