An Alaska fishing adventure became a nightmare for a family of eight when disaster struck one of the two boats they chartered over the Memorial Day weekend.
CAPTION CORRECTION: CORRECTS RAN INTO TROUBLE, NOT SCUTTLED: This undated photo provided by James Solis shows Robert Solis, left and his partner Brandi Tyau, right. Robert Solis and Tyau were aboard the charter fishing vessel Awakin when it ran into trouble Sunday in rough seas off the coast of southeast Alaska. The bodies of three of the five people aboard have been found but two people remain missing.
The sisters and their sister-in-law didn’t like fishing but joined the vacation to spend more time with a family that was usually split between“It was just supposed to be a simple family get-together for eight of us, since we haven’t been together in the same spot for so long,” Michael Tyau, the older brother, told The Associated Press on Thursday. “For it to turn out like this is really devastating.”with their parents.
The area is a “premier fishing destination” because the many bays and passageways created by the islands provide protection from the wind and waves on days when the open sea is too rough, Kingfisher Charters says on its website. When Sunday dawned, their last vacation day before Monday flights home, the women rejoined the boats.The boat captains opted for different fishing spots. Aboard the Pockets, Michael Tyau said he "in no way felt in jeopardy, like this wasn’t safe for us to fish in.”
The bodies of Brandi Tyau and Danielle Agcaoili were found inside the cabin. Maury Agcaoili's body was discovered near the boat. Solis and Robidou were still considered missing Thursday.
