Four rescued from sinking vessel in Gulf of Alaska

The rescue, "resulted in the best possible outcome," given the remote location in the gulf, according to Lieutenant Evan Sutton, search and rescue mission coordinator for the Coast Guard Arctic District.

"These mariners were well-equipped and demonstrated the importance of having appropriate life-saving and communications equipment on hand such as liferafts, survival suits, and long-range distress communication devices," said Sutton.
