Stranded 200 miles out at sea Coast Guard has lobster boat, five-man crew in tow

The 77-foot, Gloucester-based lobster boat, Michael & Kristen, which became disabled and was drifting in high seas about 200 miles southeast of Nantucket on Wednesday, was being towed home by a Coast Guard cutter last night, through wind gusts of some 40 mph.
There were five people aboard the boat, which is owned by the corporation, Fair Winds Inc., according to Coast Guard spokeswoman Lauren Jorgenson. The corporation is headed by Charlie Raymond of Beverly, and the ship captained by Ron Davis of Rochester, N.H.

Was there, where was the Coast Guard that night, 14 hrs of towing four part off’s, and all the while CG
stood by, and away requesting us, (rleah) to reconnect, claiming too rough to get in close till daylight.
There were at least ten courageous fishermen that night.
