Coast Guard Suspends Search for Missing Crew of Capsized Alaska Fishing Boat

The Wind Walker capsized in freezing waters near Point Couverden, with five crew members unaccounted for after a challenging 24-hour search in severe weather conditions.

The fishing vessel Wind Walker sent a mayday call early Sunday morning, reporting it was overturning near Point Couverden, southwest of Juneau, Alaska.
The U.S. Coast Guard and other responders searched over 108 square nautical miles in freezing waters with heavy snow, 60 mph winds, and 6-foot seas.
Seven empty cold-water immersion suits and two strobe lights were recovered, but no signs of the crew or wreckage were found.
The search was suspended on Monday after nearly 24 hours of efforts, with officials citing the harsh conditions and lack of new information.
The Coast Guard has urged anyone with information about the incident to contact their Southeast Alaska sector as the case remains open for updates.
