AIR STATION SITKA RESCUES THREE

Greetings Fishies!

Here is a press release from the Coast Guard Air Station Sitka:

JUNEAU, Alaska - A Coast Guard helicopter from Sitka rescued three people from the trawling vessel Sea Bear at 11:44 a.m. Thursday.

After running aground in the vicinity of Klag Bay, the crew of the Sea Bear launched their skiff and made it to a nearby shore.

After arriving on scene the Coast Guard HH60 helicopter transported the captain and crew of Sea Bear safely to Sitka.

This is actually a troller, not a trawler. Many will mistake the two terms as they can sound the same when spoken.

Stay tuned!
