A good Samaritan crew on the vessel "Just In Case" rescued five fishermen after the "Capt’n Andrew" ran aground on Bold Cape four miles southeast of King Cove Mar 6, 2011, morning. The fishing vessels "Golden Dawn" and "Just In Case" responded while the Coast Guard put out an Urgent Marine Information Broadcast requesting local vessels that could safely assist the crew of the Capt'n Andrew which was aground. A crewmember of the "Just In Case" deployed a skiff and took the 5-person crew off the partially submerged vessel and transferred them to the "Just In Case" while the "Golden Dawn" crew relayed information to the Coast Guard. Two Coast Guard MH-60 Jayhawk helicopters forward-deployed in St. Paul were launched but were not needed. The "Just In Case" safely transported all five crewmembers to King Cove with no reported injuries. The "Capt’n Andrew" was carrying approximately 2000 gallons of diesel fuel.
