The U.S. Coast Guard said late Wednesday it had suspended the search for a fisherman who fell overboard south of Berners Bay in Southeast Alaska.
The Coast Guard didn't identify the victim, but said the fishing vessel involved was the 39-foot Eleanor S.
State records list the boat's owner as Richard B. Boyce, of Haines.
This is so sad. As a wife of a SE gillnetter, this hit too close to home. My heart and thoughts go out to his family.
