Press release from the US Coast Guard:

The Coast Guard assisted two Dungeness crab fishermen aboard a 32-foot commercial fishing vessel approximately two miles southwest of the Humboldt Bay south spit, Tuesday.

The Comet’s crew contacted Coast Guard Sector Humboldt Bay watchstanders via VHF-FM channel 16 around 10:30 a.m., reporting a loss of propulsion due to a fouled prop.

Watchstanders issued a Marine Assistance Request Broadcast to ask for help from other boaters in the area. With no response to the Marine Assistance Request Broadcast, the officer of the day dispatched a crew from Coast Guard Station Humboldt Bay to assist. A rescue crew launched aboard a 47-foot Motor Lifeboat and arrived on scene approximately 30 minutes after the initial call.

The Coast Guard crew placed the Comet in stern tow and helped moor the vessel at Woodley Island Marina around 1:30 p.m.

The crew of the Comet did not report any injuries.

Hopefully none. Stay safe out there guys and girls. The Dungeness crab fishery is one of the most dangerous out there. 🙏🏻 I pray that all will be safe. My heart aches for the families of the ones we’ve lost.
