Canadian fishermen help hoist a man wearing a green hat and a blue plaid shirt onto a Canadian Coast Guard rescue boat that has pulled alongside them. As the man steadies himself, he turns around and says, “Thanks a lot guys,” then waves as the Coast Guard boat pulls away. “That’s one for the books,” one of the men on the fishing boat says. The men, who had departed on a 43-foot fishing boat called the Evening, had been scheduled to return Oct. 15. One of the men’s daughters alerted the U.S. Coast Guard on Oct. 22 that her father had never returned home.

CNN —One of two men missing at sea for nearly two weeks was found alive on Thursday by a Canadian fishing boat in a life raft in Canadian waters, approximately 70 miles northwest of Cape Flattery, Washington, according to US Coast Guard spokesperson Petty Officer Steve Strohmaier. A lot of times, it is pretty infrequent to have a vessel passing by.”On Sunday afternoon, the Coast Guard was alerted to a missing fishing vessel that had departed the Washington coast on October 12 and was due back on October 15. “They left from Westport, Washington,” Strohmaier said. “They were due back on the 15th, and a week later, the Coast Guard was made aware.”The man was found by a Canadian fishing boat “in Canadian waters, and from that, the good Samaritan vessel radioed the Canadian Coast Guard. When he went to the hospital, he was reported to be in stable condition.”At this time, another person remains missing and the incident remains under investigation, according to the US Coast Guard.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — A Canadian fishing boat rescued an American man one day after the U.S. Coast Guard ended its search for a missing commercial fishing boat from Washington state with two people board, authorities said. U.S. Coast Guard Petty Officer Steve Strohmaier said the Canada-based Ocean Sunset spotted a covered life raft drifting in open ocean about 75 kilometers (46 miles) off the west coast of Vancouver Island on Thursday. Strohmaier said the Ocean Sunset's crew found the man conscious on the raft, which was from the Evening fishing boat based in Gray's Harbor, Washington. The man was taken to shore by the Canadian Coast Guard and was reported in stable condition. Strohmaier said Coast Guard officials hoped to speak with the survivor soon to determine whether to renew the search.
