A man working on the engine of a fishing vessel fell overboard Monday near Goodnews Bay and hasn’t been seen since. His name has not yet been released. A number of aircraft were involved in the search, as well as other fishing vessels. The man was not wearing a life jacket. The accident happened when a wave hit the boat about 60 feet from shore.
The Coast Guard suspended the search last night.
