A retired Alaska State Troopers commander, his nephew and 13-year-old grandson survived the sinking of a boat off the Southeast Alaska community of Pelican with help from two Good Samaritan vessels and the U.S. Coast Guard.
Chris Larsen and Howard Starbard aboard the Miss Amy some years ago in Auke Bay. Starbard credits Larsen with helping him survive the boat's sinking on Monday, July 4 2022.
Starbard was power trolling for king salmon during a commercial opener Monday with his 13-year-old grandson and 35-year-old nephew about three miles off the west coast of Chichagof Island. It was the first day the Miss Amy had been out all summer.Within three or four minutes, Starbard said Wednesday, he issued a Mayday call on the VHF radio.
The Cirus and another vessel, the power troller Lucky Strike, responded to the broadcast, the Coast Guard said. They came alongside. By then, the water was halfway up the engines and the boat was listing as it filled even faster, Starbard said. That’s when Larsen jumped into the water and got the line around his uncle so the Lucky Strike crew could hoist him aboard with an electric boat winch.
Just after 7 p.m., Amy Starbard got a call: The Coast Guard was receiving a distress signal from her husband’s boat. Her daughter got a similar call. Someone mentioned one person was unresponsive. She knew that wasn’t Larsen, an experienced deckhand. It was either her grandson or her husband.
