Cedric Smith, Glenn Harper, Jake Gilman, Joshua Leonguerrero, Fuli Lemusu, Carlos Zabala and Robert Davis all perished when the Ballard-based fishing vessel Katmai apparently foundered early Wednesday morning in the remote pass about 100 miles west of Adak in the Aleutian Island. Zabala and Davis remain missing. The Katmai sunk in rough seas, and four survived by clinging to a life raft for 17 hours in their survival suits. "They said initially there were seven people in the raft, and then there was a big wave and it got whittled down," said a Coast Guard pilot.
At the time the Katmai ran into trouble, it was returning to Dutch Harbor with a load of cod caught in the Bering Sea west of Adak Island.
The deceased also include Jake Gilman, of Camas, Clark County; Fuli Lemusu, of Salem, Ore;, and Glenn Harper of Portland. Zabala and Davis remain missing.
