Coast Guard crew aboard a Jayhawk helicopter out of Coast Guard Air Station Sitka helped get a fishing boat’s bilge pumped out before it sank on Tuesday near Kake in Southeast Alaska.
A rescuer swimmer swam through the chop to the vessel, and then the crew aboard the helicopter lowered a pump and stayed nearby until the Coast Guard Cutter Anacapa arrived to assist. Video is courtesy of U.S. Coast Guard. Turn up the volume.
