The crew of USCGC Morgenthau (WHEC-722) prepare to tow the 35-foot sailboat Rafiki while in the Gulf of Alaska Sept. 6, 2016. The sailing vessel was in transit from Australia to Canada with the 79-year-old captain the sole occupant when the engine died and the sails ripped in a gale, the vessel was rendered inoperable and in grave peril nearly 100 miles from the closest land.
