I don't see anything on Jim's site?
I talked to my son in Nome. He said they stayed out too long dredging and when they got close to shore, the waves were too big and wind was blowing towards shore. Boat capsized. They were wearing wetsuits. One made to shore and was picked up by a friend of my son. Went to hospital for hypothermia. Left two hours later to search for the other two... his father and brother was what my son heard.
