The 68-foot fishing vessel Midnite Sun ran aground on Afognak Island northwest of Kodiak early this morning. The U.S. Coast Guard safely rescued all five aboard after another boat, the Sea Warrior, relayed a distress call picked up on an unmonitored VHF radio channel. "Without the help of the Sea Warrior we may never have known that the crew of the Midnite Sun was in need of rescue," said Coast Guard Lt. Michael Anderson. USCG photoAnother one hits the rocks
