While we have been sheltered behind Unga Island, a vessel went down near us. We are getting our news via e-mail, no first hand information. 120 miles out of Dutch Harbor the 200 foot processor, the Alaska Ranger lost it’s rudder and sunk. 42 people were picked out of the water, 4 are dead and 1 is missing. It’s been less than 20 degrees and blowing 50 -100 knots, so I don’t think there is much hope for the missing person. My sympathies go out to all of them.

Dan,
This was pretty big news in Seattle, too. We think about you seadogs all the time! Chip the ice out of your beard and keep alive, would you? I and your other friends in Seattle send their love.

hey dan, stay safe! hope to see you soon, renata
It is a risk that all take on the seas. I wonder what the comparison is with mining fatalities? Keep safe.
