The U.S. 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 50-foot (15-meter) boat, the Wind Walker, sent a mayday call that the vessel was overturning around 12:10 a.m., but the Coast Guard’s attempts to get more information from the crew went unanswered, according to a Coast Guard press release. The Wind Walker capsized on waters off Point Couverden, southwest of Juneau.
