Actual Audio of the F/V Wizard Coast Guard Distress Call

With the weather as bad as it was, its surprising the fleet wasn’t in more serious trouble.  The smaller quota has allowed many boats to make early seasons of the king crab fisheries this winter.

KODIAK, Alaska – Communications Station Kodiak watchstanders receive a call for a medevac of a 28-year-old man from the 150-foot Seattle-based fishing vessel Wizard 60 miles north of Cold Bay Nov. 7, 2011. A Coast Guard MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter safely hoisted and transported the man to emergency medical personnel in Cold Bay. U.S. Coast Guard audio by Communications Station Kodiak.

  1. Thanks for the sensible critique. Me and my neighbor were just preparing to do some research on this. We got a grab a guide from our area library but I believe I learned more from this post. I am extremely glad to see this kind of great information being shared freely out there.
