The body of Morgan Robidou, the captain of a fishing charter boat that sank off of Low Island near Sitka, has been recovered. Robidou, who was 32 and from Sitka, was found in the Low Island area, Alaska State Troopers said, 11 days after the Awakin charter fishing boat incident that killed all onboard.

The bodies of Maury Agcaoili, 57, and his wife, Danielle Agcaoili, 53, both of Hawaii; and Danielle’s sister Brandi Tyau, 56, of Canoga Park, Calif., were recovered earlier. Passenger Robert Solis, 61, is still unaccounted for.

Robidou was a local in Sitka and was a talented metal sculptor, when not fishing. Covenant Church in Lake Havasu, Arizona remembered him with these words: “We remember Morgan as a wonderful, kind, gifted young man who always had a gentle smile on his face. We remember his joy in choosing to be baptized last April. Please keep his family in your prayers.”

The boat has been been towed to Sitka and the investigation continues.
