A fishing vessel abandoned by its crew of 46 in the Bering Sea when it took on water Tuesday remained afloat Wednesday morning as plans were made for a possible recovery, according to the U.S. Coast Guard.
Lt. Joseph Schlosser, a command duty officer with the Coast Guard's District 17 command center, said the Alaska Juris remained in the same area where it was abandoned at about noon Tuesday, more than 150 miles northwest of Adak in Alaska's western Aleutian Islands.
"She's floating down by the bow, with a 5-degree list to port," Schlosser said.
