F/V Wizard, Deadliest Catch, Seasoned Alaska Bering Sea Crabber fishes in the heart of hurricane storm conditions. Deadliest Catch season 13 will soon get to the part where those of us on the west coast already went through the grief and sadness of loosing F/V Destination on February 11, 2017. News of the missing crabber F/V Destination spread through the fleet all the way down the coast to the lower 48. Destination was a staple crabber often seen buzzing around the Seattle WA Ship Canal. It’s very weird that we didn’t see this past 2017 late spring, into early summer.
F/V Wizard, Captain Keith Colburn has been quotes for saying, “It’s a miracle if someone gets out alive.” When the first news broke about the missing crabber F/V Destination prayer and hope that our Coast Guard, USCG finds survivors went on for days. The boat when missing early Saturday by Monday late evening the USCG suspended the search for the 100 ft. crabber.
F/V Destination, had a homeport in Seattle WA, usually in the ship canal and with touch and go’s loading gear over at Fishermen’s Terminal. The Destination was not featured on the Deadliest Catch, the crabber vanished early Saturday Feb. 11th, after a radio beacon sent an emergency signal 2 miles off St. George Island.
USCG searched for the boat and its crew members; Charles Glenn Jones, Larry O’Grady, Raymond Vincler, Darrik Seibold, Kai Hamik and Jeff Hathaway, to date no survivors have ever been found, these men are lost into the Bering Sea forever. It’s still unknown the exact reason for the vessels disappearance; speculation has been made about the stormy conditions, loaded deck of gear and freezing heavy ice conditions. What ever happened these men were seasoned fishermen; one fact is true whatever when wrong happened extremely fast with no warning.
F/V Northwestern has been “Jeff has been a close friend for the past 23 years. He’s a true leader and not a follower. I’ve learned a lot from him and know for a fact that he is calm under pressure,” Hansen said. “When the Northwestern hit the beach a few years ago, there was only one boat in the area that had a tow. I was in a state of panic and thought we were done. It was Jeff who walked me through this ordeal on what to do over the radio. I did exactly what he told me and sure enough, the stern came around and we got off the beach. It’s what saved us.”
USCG, U. S. Coast Guard 17th District Alaska issued a statement on a Monday evening announcing after 3 days, they are suspending of the search. “We extend our deepest condolences to the family and friends of the six crew members during this extremely difficult time,” Rear Adm. Michael McAllister, Coast Guard 17th District commander stated. “The decision to suspend a search is always difficult and is made with great care and consideration.” The brave men and women of the USCG made extreme search and rescue efforts, with no human life found.
