A timeout for the Teri Lynn

A U.S. Coast Guard skiff tails the fishing vessel Teri Lynn on Sept. 6 in the western Gulf of Alaska. A boarding team from the cutter Acushnet ordered the boat to port at King Cove after finding safety violations including an inoperable high-water alarm system, inadequate fire extinguishing gear and an expired EPIRB. The Teri Lynn was able to sail the next day after fixing the problems, the Coast Guard said. The boarding team also ordered the cod boat St. Francis to port due in part to improper survival suits.
