Crew of Wind Walker boat sent mayday call but US Coast Guard’s attempts to get more info went unanswered
The US Coast Guard said Sunday it’s searching for five people after a fishing boat reportedly capsized in rough weather and seas near Alaska’s capital of Juneau.
The crew of the approximately 50ft (15m) boat, the Wind Walker, sent a mayday call that the vessel was overturning at about 12.10am, but the Coast Guard’s attempts to get more information from the crew went unanswered, according to a press release from the military branch. The Wind Walker capsized on waters off Point Couverden, south-west of Juneau.
