An Alaska fishing adventure became a nightmare for a family of eight when wreckage of one of the boats they’d chartered was found partially submerged off an island.
JUNEAU, Alaska — An Alaska fishing adventure became a nightmare for a family of eight when disaster struck one of the two boats they chartered over the Memorial Day weekend, leaving three people dead and two more missing despite a desperate search over hundreds of square miles of ocean.
The sisters and their sister-in-law didn’t like fishing but joined the vacation to spend more time with a family that was usually split between Hawaii and Los Angeles. So when the Tyau siblings’ mother suggested a family trip last year, a fishing vacation in the Sitka Sound won out.He and his wife flew from Los Angeles to Alaska on Thursday with Brandi Tyau, 56, and Solis, 61. They met up with their parents, sister Danielle Agcaoili, 53, and her husband, 57-year-old Maury Agcaoili, all Hawaii residents.
“It’s more of a fishing-themed trip for a lot of people, rather than being one of a variety of activities that they do,” he said. The Awakin hadn’t come back, the charter company told Michael Tyau, and they lost radio contact with the captain, 32-year-old Morgan Robidou. Coast Guard investigators are working to determine the timeline and cause of the incident. The area was experiencing 6-foot to 11-foot waves, a Coast Guard spokesperson said.
