A distress call from a local fishing vessel near the mouth of Grays Harbor with its rudder disabled turned a regular day of training into something else for the Coast Guardsmen of Station Grays Harbor on Tuesday.
Fouled by a crab pot, the fishing boat with three aboard lost steering just a few miles from the bar, a dangerous place to be adrift, said Petty Officer 2nd Class Thomas Lewandowski, coxswain of the vessel that relieved them.
