ANCHORAGE — In testimony Monday, the captain of the fishing vessel Katmai — lost at sea last week — described a nightmarish fight for survival in a life raft that kept flipping in rough seas.
The vessel with 11 crewmen went down after midnight Wednesday, and through a long dark aftermath, Henry Blake III said, the life raft probably flipped more than 20 or 30 times.
Three crewmen were lost from the raft, but Blake and three others managed to hang on
until their rescue some 17 hours later.
Blake, of Massachusetts, was unsure what happened to one of the seven who made it to the raft, Carlos Zabala, of Helena, Mont. Two other men, Cedric Smith, of Portland, and Joshua Leonguerrero, of Spanaway, perished when the raft flipped early on in the ordeal, Blake said.
"I was tangled underneath the raft; when I came back from under the raft, there were three guys left and that was it and there was no canopy, no survival equipment," Blake said. "Josh was gone. Cedric was gone."
Blake's testimony came on the first day of the Coast Guard Marine Board of Investigation hearings into the sinking, which claimed the lives of five of the 11 crew and left two others missing at sea and presumed dead.

The 93-foot boat, which was fishing for cod with baited traps, was owned
by Katmai Fisheries of Washington state. It was part of a fleet of vessels that catch,
then head and gut fish in labor-intensive operations.
The safety record of such ships has been under scrutiny since 2001, when the Arctic Rose,

It’s a tale that is sure to haunt ‘Deadliest Catch’ fans as well as anyone
interested in a fascinating but tragic true story of a night at sea gone wrong.
The film is said to be based on Working On The Edge by Spike Walker however it sounds as though it’s the story of the St. Patrick and it’s crew, written about in that book and later on in another by Spike Walker called Nights of Ice. According to Walker, the boat and it’s crew became victims of a Bering Sea storm that forces them into their survival suits and then into the freezing water.
