Boat escort ordered for 'Destiny's Child' star

PROVINCETOWN, Mass. (AP) - Musician Kelly Rowland, a founding member of the group Destiny's Child, was one of several passengers on a private boat escorted back to Cape Cod after the captain became disoriented.

Coast Guard Lt. Ruairi White tells the Cape Cod Times that the boat's captain was following a commercial whale-watching vessel on Friday, lost sight of the boat and became disoriented north of Provincetown.

The Coast Guard directed a commercial towboat operator to escort the private vessel back to Provincetown.

TowBoat U.S. Provincetown said on its Facebook page that the boat was 33 miles north of Provincetown. It said the passengers "were great. Just a little shook up."
