Five people have been reported missing from a fishing boat that capsized in rough waters off the coast of southeastern Alaska, officials said. The US Coast Guard received a mayday call at 12:10 a.m. Sunday from the crew aboard the 50-foot-long vessel, saying it was overturning, the guard said in a news release. The Coast Guard asked for additional information but received no response, the release said. People familiar with the vessel, called the Wind Walker, said there were five people aboard, but the number is not confirmed and could change, the Coast Guard said. An emergency position-indicating radio beacon alert was also received and that located the vessel south of Point Couverden, near Juneau, in Icy Strait, the statement said. The Coast Guard deployed both air and sea response teams to aid the search mission – launching an MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter and a 45-foot Response Boat, according to the release.
