Another one hits the rocks

The 68-foot fishing vessel Midnite Sun ran aground on Afognak Island northwest of Kodiak early this morning. The U.S. Coast Guard safely rescued all five aboard after another boat, the Sea Warrior, relayed a distress call picked up on an unmonitored VHF radio channel. "Without the help of the Sea Warrior we may never have known that the crew of the Midnite Sun was in need of rescue," said Coast Guard Lt. Michael Anderson. USCG photo

Thank God another crew was spared. I'm glad that all the fisherman look out for one another.

Who was running the boat? Last I knew, Danny Oliver was the captain. Tough break for the owners and crew.

If thats's the case, someone needs to get that guy off the water. 2nd grounding in a few years- how do owners insure him

its called calculated risk. the man's a cod killin fool, if you hire him to run your boat you might get rich or your boat might get set on the rocks. Thank god his lack of good judgement hasn't killed any of his crewman yet.
