A fishing boat reportedly capsized in southeast Alaska over the weekend. The Coast Guard searched for nearly 24 hours in efforts to find the fishing vessel Wind Walker in the Gulf of Alaska. The boat’s crew called in a Mayday early Sunday morning saying it was overturning in the water about 20 miles southwest of Juneau.

The search for five people believed to be aboard a fishing vessel that capsized in rough seas in the Gulf of Alaska has been suspended, the Coast Guard said Monday. The search lasted nearly a day and covered more than 108 square nautical miles (370 square kilometers).
