Tragedy in Alaska, as a fishing boat is lost
The Alaska commercial fishing community is grieving today with the loss of the 50-foot fishing boat, the Wind Walker, out of Sitka, which capsized in stormy seas a little after midnight early Monday morning southwest of Juneau.
Despite an extensive search with many Coast Guard and civilian resources, neither the boat nor her crew have not been found.
Incidents like this reverberate through our fishing communities throughout the region, especially as our own local Lower Columbia crabbing fleet prepares to go to sea in the worst weather of the year, as the season opens in the next few weeks.
Send your best to these grieving families, and to all our fishermen... may they have a successful, safe and profitable season. And your sincere gratitude for a good catch.
