An Orange County man and his daughter were badly burned when their 28-foot cabin cruiser exploded at a Huntington Harbour fuel dock shortly after fueling for a holiday weekend trip to Santa Catalina Island, authorities said. Carl Lund, 48, of Huntington Beach was attempting to start the boat’s second engine when the 1976 Skipjack exploded and caught fire. Lund and his 7-year-old daughter, Kristen, suffered burns to their legs and were transported to UC Irvine Medical Center’s burn unit, where they were reported in fair condition.
