U.S. Coast Guard responders in Kodiak this morning helped save the 42-foot seiner Hail Mary, which was aground and taking on water in Womens Bay near the Coast Guard base. Guardsmen and the four-man seiner crew managed to plug a hole and used a dewatering pump to refloat the boat in about an hour. "The fishing vessel crew used their own skiff to tow the Hail Mary to the dock at Alaska Pacific Seafoods in Kodiak City, arriving at 12:48 p.m.," a Coast Guard press release said.

Now thats a nice place to break down - infront of the Coast Guard Base
I like the positive tone to your report. The boat has had lots of great support from the CG and the fishermen who rallied around and did what needed to be done.
She was a great boat to work on! Anyone got a line on her old skipper or skiff man from that season?
