Original warning text
F/V Destiny; Shelikof Strait, 5 miles W of Rocky Point on the W side of Kodiak Island. Shelikof Strait, 5 miles W of Rocky Point on the W side of Kodiak Island. 1. While returning from the opilio crab fishery in the Bering Sea, the F/V Destiny, a 96-ft crabber, suddenly began taking on water in Shelikof Strait in relatively calm weather conditions on April 20. Winds at the time were approximately 10 knots. All 5 crewmen donned immersion suits and abandoned ship to a life raft, where they were rescued by another fishing vessel. Upon sinking the vessel immediately began releasing its fuel and oil, which created a sheen from one mile to four mile long over the next couple of days. The sheen was blown SW out into Shelikof Strait initially until a 40 knot caused it to further disperse and evaporate. The vessel sank roughly five miles west of Rocky Pt. in about 600 feet of water. No response was attempted. USCG district 17. Keyword: fishing vessel, diesel. 2. COMMODITY: DIESEL, LUBE OIL AND HYDRAULIC OIL. 3. POSITION 57.763N 154.262W.
