I LOVE the boating community! Brought a tear to me to see how many fellow vessels showed up to help!!! And they got in there and got it done!!! Best of humanity right there!!! I'm a single-handed female sailor--and I had a breach in my prop shaft on the night of Dec. 4, 2018... took on about 700 gallons on my 27ft sailboat. I was hand-bailing into my cockpit--and then hand-bailing overboard. I was close to hypothermia (in Southern California) when I was finally hauled out. Warms my heart to see all the aid bestowed on this sinking boat. Bravo, gentleman...Bravo!!
Brought a tear to my eye. All those fishermen we're just trying to keep a captain from losing everything. Rules on the water a completely different from land. That is why one of the reasons why I love being out in the water so much. People will not know you but they will do everything they can to help you. it's not about the maritime law it's about treating people the way you want to be treated
That was the greatest thing about growing up working on the water. When it comes to losing life and property even people that dont like you will save you.
How often do you see assisting vessels save the BOAT as well as the crew? Very impressive how many vessels came to lend assistance here and did an expert job of getting that situation under control. Wendys skipper must have been thrilled. And as soon as the situation is brought under control, everyone disappears! Time is money, man, back to work! That's a hardy bunch up there in Alaska.
I operate Tenders such as the Amatuli, since the early 90's. Do you notice, that only the Tender has a portable pump to save the guy? I know that with only 32 feet of boat allowed, that space is limited. However, I have seen pacer pumps mounted on the rail of some boats, powered by hydraulics, and a suction hose to throw either over the side for washdown, or into the hold for pump out. In this case, both of those gillnetters could have pumped him out before the Amatuli got on scene. It is also, on a small vessel, THE biggest pump available! They should be mandatory! 12volt Rule pumps will not cut it if the leak is large. Having been sunk once myself, one can never have too many pumps!
Its a Tender. That's how they were able to save the boat, because they have a fish pump on board, so they just dropped it into the fish hold and started pumping out water.
Always. Unless your on kenai and break down during dipnetting. I was drifting out to sea and nobody even bothered. Luckily I had an electric trolling motor which somehow with one bar of power had enough to fight an outgoing tide at kenai river mouth to make it to kenai docks in my V-20’ tracker targa deep V. My brand new motor was wired wrong to batteries and fried the computer and I was dead in the water. Luckily the trolling motor had separate batteries.
Years ago, I worked in the charter fishing fleet from Indian River, Delaware for an "old school" captain. I had a reputation of being the best jerry rigger in the fleet (actually they used a different non-PC term). If we were anywhere close to a boat with a problem, I just got my small tool kit and a 5 gallon bucket and prepared to board. I cannot count how many sinking boats I have been on. We never called the Coast Guard, never lost a boat and never left anyone in the ocean.
Those kids were his sons, wasn't their first season either. It was a combination of a clogged bilge pump plus I believe they were trying to cut a net out of the prop. Lesson learned. Same boys are still on that boat and this season was super successful. Still could have gone very wrong. Fishermen look after their own.
I think that's the best turn out for a mayday call I ever seen great job boys you all deserve it keep up the great work and hope you all have a great season fishing
The music was awesome. But that's my opinion. It's also my opinion that you're probably some old man who doesnt know anything but Metallica AC/DC and maybe some DIO and iron maiden.
@@johnboe412 Ageism...one of the problems of this world and you're a serious contributor.

@@johnboe412 no, if I wanted a music video id have watched a music video. I was watching a rescue and would rather have had the actual audio or NONE. And that crap can't even be considered music.

That’s the thing though, these men are all tied together by the fact they’re fishermen. They belong to the same community in a sense, and all have a certain loyalty to it. They look out for their own, not so different from those split races. People who don’t have anything in common aren’t nearly as likely to have this kind of empathy for each other.
Been watch CG rescues and they explain that if the other fishers can come to help they do, I have not seen that anywhere else. Kudos to the CG and the fishers. You all are one tough bunch. Kudos to you all.
live in a port with a commercial fishing industry, the US Navy, the Coast guard and a significant recreational boating population.....when the call goes out from someone in need, it incredible to watch the response
I've been out there and caught on fire when a belt broke on our port engine when a bearing went out on the alternator. As teh captain of the vessel you make decision as quickly as you can to save the lives you have aboard. I am sure the captain of this vessel did the same thing. You cant plan for accidents otherwise no one would ever have one. You just make the best decisions you can in the moments you have. Good job guys, love to see people pull together, especially on the sea!
Wow hats off to the crew members of all the vessels who pulled this off. Also thank you for posting this video because this one and many others are invaluable to anyone who owns a boat because shit can go wrong or life threatening very quickly out on the water no matter how experienced you are when operating any vessel. Luckily for me I've only had to do a couple of towins back to the boat ramp over last 20 years
Lucky the weather was with this rescue and that big vessel could handle doing what was needed to save the distressed boat. Well done and a lot of beers are owed on this one.
Great job up there!! I've heard on the radio someone calling about a boat fire and some moron saying five miles was too far to steam. I only hope when it's my may day there are heroes like you around!
Wow! If everyone did this when someones ship was sinking, (even metaphoricly) what a place this would be! One of the BEST videos I have seen. That is one Hell of a code that fisherman live by! Awesome!
I had a similar situation off Cedar Key in florida early this year. I was fishing offshore in my Freeman 34 and we got a call from the coast guard saying that approx. 50 miles north of us there were 2 men missing on their fishing vessel who hadnt come back the night before. So we packed up, and headed full throttle to the north, had radar going so we found me in no time at all. Gave coast guard location and they came and assisted
If i had to guess, its the prop shaft seal developed a bad leak when the net fowled in the prop. You can see the net over the aft starboard cleats. That is also probably why it was taking so long to fully sink. The water rushed toward ok the bow and raised the prop seals up closer to the surface wear there was less pressure, slowing it down a lot. But it would not have stayed up for too much longer thank god there are awesome people that the bystander affect does not affect on! Made me feel really good to watch.
Fished egegik for years. F/v jaqlin. Miss it dearly. Great on you guys for getting there and doing something about it. The boat with the cameras looks a lot like dr Jack? Probably not but looks similar. Well done fellas.
AWESOME DISPLAY OF THE "MARINERS CODE OF ETHICS"!!!! doesn't matter who you are or what you're doing on the water, if someone's in trouble, you drop what you're doing and get there as fast as possible. It's not like they can pull off the highway and wait for AAA. They'll last 20 minutes in that water at best..... Once you've been in that situation, you'll appreciate what's going on here. Excellent Rescue!!!👍👍👍
If people came together on land the same as they do on the sea the the whole world would be a better place. The ocean reminds us how small a pin prick we are in the whole grand scheme of mother nature.. the sea has this great way of teaching us who we are. Good work guys, peace out ✌️✌️✌️ Kick ass song by the way
The F/V Amatuli, is one of my favorite twin screw scows. Bart Eaton made this boat famous among us Bering Sea fisherman, decades before "Deadliest Catch" made crab fishing popular. Those days were much deadlier than what you see now without the "derby" fishery. F/V Americus and F/V Altair.......February 14th, 1983. 14 men in one day.......my classmates and neighbors from Anacortes, WA, and home to Nick Mavar of the Northwestern.
As soon as you see that help is there and you're going to be alright, you're happy for a few seconds until you realize the absolute mess you're going to have to deal with having your boat sink. A commercial boat at that.
what a nice save man great to see all those boats coming to the aid of the vessel in distress if my boat ever starts sinking I want people like that around
I fish on a small bass boat on a lake in Texas but if I ever started taking on water uncontrollably and someone stepped in like that they would not only get my thanks and an open tap at a bar but my friendship for life.
Right? I'd be loving on all of those people who came to help and you know they were all going full speed ahead with their hearts pounding to get there in time: holiday cards, birthday cards, and I'd be mighty grateful to be sending every single one. But some folks aren't communicative, and also, maybe that captain feels guilty... the rescuing captain did say he revealed he'd made a couple of stupid mistakes. I appreciate the video being posted... so great to see!
Simply amazing video ...Its inspiring to see the sheer response,its tingling..to see boats coming from every angle and as others have said ,no half measure with fisherman,,Crew safe....Now lets get the boat....Omg I am impressed but also humbled to have been able to watch such brilliance at work,,,and I actually liked the music ,so well done to everyone,and this has been really inspiring,Thank you ..
Years ago anchored below the 430 line in Naknek we were gonna get a few hours of sleep, I remember thinking as my head hit the pillow, something is different, then it hit me, no sound of the drip from the stuffing box. I opened the lower hatch and water was 4 inches up on the engine. No automatic pumps as the boat really didn't leak, until it did. It still fired up with little difficulty just some wet belts squeaking so we were able to pump it out. I assume something similar happened here.
After years on boats someone should invent an inflatable bladder below decks in bilge that inflates when compartment is flooded saving the ship.. Up under bow and bilge area. I have a few big bilge pumps . Good Job Lads!
The high five after they untied and seeing the vessel afloat again, man that was beyond what words can express. True hero’s

That’s not just a maritime thing you clown 🤡
great to see people helping out like this
rideyourbikent when you're a sailor you are obligated by the law to respond to a mayday
This is what they do who ever is closer stops what there doing to go help
at sea, we do everything and anything to save others. it's code. it's important because one day you might be the one in distress.
In was just about to say that..
@@antifacisme they did not have to save the boat, but they did.

+dave onan , that's the way the LYRA rolls, save the people, save the boat, gotta go, catch more fish!
Ever see the movie Spiderman? What goes around, comes around. Turn a blind eye and next time it's your SOS.
All vessels are communicating with each other and likely coast guard as well. I would live to hear the radio conversation of this rescue.
I operate Tenders such as the Amatuli, since the early 90's. Do you notice, that only the Tender has a portable pump to save the guy? I know that with only 32 feet of boat allowed, that space is limited. However, I have seen pacer pumps mounted on the rail of some boats, powered by hydraulics, and a suction hose to throw either over the side for washdown, or into the hold for pump out. In this case, both of those gillnetters could have pumped him out before the Amatuli got on scene. It is also, on a small vessel, THE biggest pump available! They should be mandatory! 12volt Rule pumps will not cut it if the leak is large. Having been sunk once myself, one can never have too many pumps!
All the time if it happens, it's an Unwritten law that Mariners carry together
giant crab boat comes in. that was an expected surprise. good on all the men helping.
Quite a few crab boats around. They work as tenders for the small boat, for extra money in the summer months.
did the crab boat tow it to shore???
Nd women
@@rftsfan1479 yep she did
Its a Tender. That's how they were able to save the boat, because they have a fish pump on board, so they just dropped it into the fish hold and started pumping out water.
That was an unbelievable response. Saved that captains livelihood. Awesome job!!
FANTASTIC when people stand together.
Everybody came to help, hats off to you guys
When will people learn? Turn off the crap music, and lets see what happens.
Or just turn down your volume? Seems an easier solution than having a public whinge...
How hard it is to hit the mute button you blithering buffoon?
OR JUST DONT WATCH IT!
I agree, turn off the music.
@@cabanford no
Put out a mayday in alaska and boats start poppin outta the woodwork 😂😂, good to see they look out for each other
Always. Unless your on kenai and break down during dipnetting. I was drifting out to sea and nobody even bothered. Luckily I had an electric trolling motor which somehow with one bar of power had enough to fight an outgoing tide at kenai river mouth to make it to kenai docks in my V-20’ tracker targa deep V. My brand new motor was wired wrong to batteries and fried the computer and I was dead in the water. Luckily the trolling motor had separate batteries.
That’s fantastic, well done everyone. It truly is a brotherhood, in awe of the number of vessels that responded.
This boat is now called the 'Joelle Marie'... It fishes out of NakNek. ( I just got back from the bay )
Great work guys!

We never called the Coast Guard, never lost a boat and never left anyone in the ocean.
you don't ever call the coastguard? that's impressive
clive ramsbotty fuck no. They’d steal your beer lol.
Crazy to see them save the boat too. Thought it was a gonner, but they managed to keep it afloat and save the crew, good shit.
Those kids were his sons, wasn't their first season either. It was a combination of a clogged bilge pump plus I believe they were trying to cut a net out of the prop. Lesson learned.

Shaft seals more than likely.
Jim Reichmann could they save the boat?
Not uncommon to see young wives and babies on gillnetters, Especially among the Russian population there.
I am extremely impressed with what I just saw good job guys everyone of you
Law of the sea mate, nearest bouts go and rescue the people.
you might just all be fishermen by trade, but on that day everyone of you'se was a hero's. God bless.
I just cant believe the amount of people that came to help great job everyone.
Y'all's truly bad ass humans ,wish we were all this passionate!, About anything!!!!
I think that's the best turn out for a mayday call I ever seen great job boys you all deserve it keep up the great work and hope you all have a great season fishing
This helps restore a small bit of faith in mankind. Truly heroic.
Not only saved the crew, but boat also. Fantastic job gentlemen!
Rumor has it, that boat was sinking on purpose to avoid the "music".
melted cheetah 😂

Great video, and good work in the rescue. Did not see anyone picking the F/V Wendys Weather's net. Lucky it was a nice day!
This was absolutely incredible.
It nice to know there are people that hear a distress call they show up to just help.
The horizon is distant, the water is cold, your friends are not near, and you are floating in a bathtub. Blessings to all fishermen.
That's what man can achieve when we work together. Awesome work guys
Not a cheap boat. Bilge pump must of failed. Awesome to see these men come together and save this boat.
Great skill getting the lines around the cleats, thought someone was gonna have to get wet to do that.

Pablito Perez I think he knows that..🤦♂️

Lucky that vacuum was nearby to make quick work of the bailing.
That's pretty cool , to see all of those HUMAN BEING'S respond from everywhere!!!!!!!! AWESOME

👍Awesome! I loved seeing the guys high-five each other @7:57. 💝
If people came together on land the same as they do on the sea the the whole world would be a better place. The ocean reminds us how small a pin prick we are in the whole grand scheme of mother nature.. the sea has this great way of teaching us who we are.
Good work guys, peace out ✌️✌️✌️
Kick ass song by the way
Good Team work. Nice response from all who answered the call. That what you call family of fisheries.
You just cant beat having the right tool for the job. Well done everyone
to say your in the middle of the ocean the response from all the boats was amazing
The fact that people stopped what they where doing and saved them is amazing
The F/V Amatuli, is one of my favorite twin screw scows. Bart Eaton made this boat famous among us Bering Sea fisherman, decades before "Deadliest Catch" made crab fishing popular. Those days were much deadlier than what you see now without the "derby" fishery. F/V Americus and F/V Altair.......February 14th, 1983. 14 men in one day.......my classmates and neighbors from Anacortes, WA, and home to Nick Mavar of the Northwestern.
Good work men,,, once the Amatuli stuck that 12 inch Transvac in it was cake .
Good save
Is that what that was? Oh my god that is amazing. That thing has some serious suction. I couldn't figure out if it was a crane or what. Thanks !
All you guys are frickin awesome...job well done!
As soon as you see that help is there and you're going to be alright, you're happy for a few seconds until you realize the absolute mess you're going to have to deal with having your boat sink. A commercial boat at that.
great to see the response of the people near by , great save of the boat , could only be saved by much bigger boat
what a nice save man great to see all those boats coming to the aid of the vessel in distress if my boat ever starts sinking I want people like that around
WOW!!! They saved the boat!!! How great to see this! Always thought they sink!! Great job!!
They were going alright refloating that boat, then that big crabber showed up and I immediately thought...
"The Calvary has Arrived".
What, that Jesus hill from the bible?
Was it just a maintanence issue like faulty bilge pumps and a fatigued through hull fitting, or did they pound on the boulders near Menshakof?
Good to see the old sea dogs looking after each other, they came from everywhere lol.
I fish on a small bass boat on a lake in Texas but if I ever started taking on water uncontrollably and someone stepped in like that they would not only get my thanks and an open tap at a bar but my friendship for life.

It’s nice to hear that they were both ok and the boat was saved.respect to everyone involved 🙏🙏🙏
This is one of the reasons I love boating everybody helps each other
Saved the people and the boat? I love fishermen, probably the best community of people.
Wongw...talk about here comes the calvary. Very impressive response and impressive work.
No offense intended, but I believe you mean "cavalry". "Calvary" is a hill near Jerusalem where Jesus of Nazareth was crucified.
I felt that this whole video was incredible....and WONDERFUL!! Good job to all!!!
Wow there are still great people out there. Faith in humanity restored!
Respect to all the only people you have out there are each other.
Excellent to see no losses and all SAFE WE NEED THIS IN THE MIAMI FL AREA. WELL DONE !!!
Absolutely awesome to see the Wolf pack turn up to protect one of their own!! Skill level turned to maximum!!💪🏻💥
That was awesome! What a lot of good men that helped, well done! Living in the city I don’t see much goodness anymore.

You guys are awesome!!!!!! What an amazing show of teamwork!!! Great job.
Alaskans at their best, gotta love it!
Man oh man they are some lucky kids that was running that boat. God was on there side that day.
That was a very cool rescue video. I'm glad everyone is OK.
Really impressed by the help that showed up incredible
Glad to see that both lives, and livelihoods were saved.
To save that sinking boat and crew was incredible great team work in time of need well done to all .
This is the difference between being rescued by awesome strangers!! and then your friends show up!!
Marvellous, epic situation and one boat happy ending to sail another day ❤
Great job by all involved. Good video. Commentary may have helped, just not into the techno tunes.

I'd say that was definitely the catch of the day!!
Well done boys!
Real men help others...you didn't do it to be thanked....you did it because it was needed...well done.
Bearing Sea Cowboys at their finest!! Standing ovation!!!!
great team work , shows what a few like minded folk can do with no egos to worry about , just a job that needs to get done.
