Many years ago a couple
of friends went hunting in a skiff out of Hoonah. When they
failed to return at the appointed time the Coast Guard was
called. All they found was the skiff and a few belongings
on the shore across from Icy Straits. While traveling the
Alaska Marine Highway a few months later the Captain announced
that they were taking time to stop the ship so that the family
could have a memorial at sea. After the ceremony the ship
continued it's voyage.
