Lungards are on the coast of the ‘Ghost ship’ on a coastal coast. Friends Ask: What happened to the missing captain?

Joel Karolee fishing boat, Karolee, passed along the coast from Washington near California in the water, keeping a solid course that was not given nothing wrong.

But when Coast Guard Creews board a boat last week in California, officials found no one. Its captain was not where it should be seen. Elsewhere and 400 miles trip, Kawahara was 70 years old lost.

“It’s a strange strange,” said CAG Coast Guard Officer Steve Strohmaier. There are no signs of suffering, no signs of rubbish drawn. “

Carolee, a fishing gear in the porch was set in. The cup of a half-coffee was found sitting in Helm, and the Oatwahara’s Oatwahara was abandoned, as if a fisherman disappeared in the middle of breakfast, said Heather, a long time.

Her Jablet of life, said, He was found hanging on a boat.

Kawahara’s friends suspected that the “cold-going place” may have thrown him over somewhere in the sea.

He was born in Seattle, Kawahara was a professional fisherman focusing on Salimon, Albeaacore Tuna and Halibut. However, friends and colleagues said Kawahara was an attorney that was interested in fish and doing things, fighting the safe and healthy fish.

“He wasn’t there because of the fish,” Surms said. “To her, everything is tied back to Salimon.”

Kawahara was a member of the board to keep our Salmon unity, President of Frollers in the coastal Frollers., And a member of the Pacific Fisherage Council.

Ken Kawahara, his brother, said he was always drawn to fishing and sea.

Their father has a boat and a shop in a shop in a shop in Seattle when they grow older, and to use other relatives to make sales fishing.

One of the three brothers, Joel seemed to be called fishing, Ken Kawahara said.

“My father saw the idea that Joel couldn’t do something else,” says Kawahara. “He just wanted to surround fish.”

At one point, Ken Kawahara said, and their father sold their boat in the hope that Joel Kawahara did not spend all her time fishing.

His brother eventually went to college, graduating, and began to work for Boeing, Ken Kawahara said.

But Joel said that Joel did not admire his arrest, who faced a military service that collided with his philosophy. As soon as he could save enough money, he bought a fishing boat. He stopped his job. Returned from fishing.

“He just wanted to return to fishing,” he said.

For years, friends and family said, Joel Kawahara worked to do what she loves, and she found her colleagues on the west and drop of Alaska. When he lost the beginning of this month, members of the fishing community gathered together, hoping to find the answers.

In social media, friends and colleagues were looking for information from Karolee, hoping that he was still in the boat and something was just in response to the response and messages.

The coast guard sought more than 18 hours demanding a missing man, the agency said in a statement, but suspended its Search Aug. 13 After receiving the trail of the Kawahara.

Strohmaier said the coast would not be a agency to investigate how Kawahara was lost, and there is no indication that another civilian agency faces the incident.

Friends and members of the public fishers of fishermen on the west coast and Alaska lost the loss of Kawahara, who had explained a fisherman and carefully.

“He was one of the wisest people I’ve ever met,” said Jeremy Brow, a criminal criminal who knew Kawahara for 35 years. “He just appears amazingly, mental and mental appreciation.”

The burning, who took care of Kawahara’s home and quail quiltcene, washed. When fishing.

The two had no lawful law when traveling to fish alone, saying, but he would contact you every few days, he said.

Aug. 11 And when he heard four days, he said unto him, While he tried to reach the journey of the weekend, no one had heard him certain days.

That’s where he started to worry, Surms said.

Only small clues indicate what may happen on Karolee’s board, friends means friends.

Kawahara organized tuna near Oregon, called Brown, and then organized salmon fishing.

But according to the coastal guard, Karolee maintained a lasting course in several days, keeping four sticks. The default boat system, according to Gadi guards, worked and showing and showed no wrongdoing.

Brown said the solid course, however, be a frightened friend and colleague.

“Everything was flexible, unless the boat continued to continue and crossed the salmon reasons,” Brown said that he had never stopped fishing for salmon. “He didn’t call, he did not greet the radio.

Coast Guards make several efforts to communicate with Kawahara with radio calls to Karolee and asked other vessels to do the same, but no one found the answer, according to the agency.

By Aug. 12, a group of C-27 edited from Sacramentento, seeing that it was near the drawn, the officials said that workers said that they “found no signs of suffering.”

The ship continued on their course, and a marine guard sent a helicopter from the Astoria air station to search the area in western Gray Pengon, accelerating.

CRews searched the way to boat, said officials, with the same results.

On Wednesday, Aug. 13, a Coast Ording boarded a boat near northern California and made sure there was no one on the board. Its equipment security, officials commented, were in the board.

That same day, Karoleee moved from Eureka, and then went up from Huboldt Bay, according to the shore.

“Our teams are investigating many miles,” said CMDR. Chelsey Stroud, Search-and Resolutor Mission Mission in the north west of Northwest. “We are transmitting deep condolences to the family, to the loved ones of a lost man.”

The only detail that it may happen, it burns the last messages Kawahara sent to friends in the morning, Aug. 8, Friends Day Friends Never believed that it might be somehow that somehow

In the text of a text very early, Kawahara told Barbs had stimulated fog, and she looked at a group of members, black and white birds, fishing near her.

“The whale’s whale appears and bends less than 50 meters before me,” said Kawahara smashed just before 7:30 in the morning “

After a half hour, he wrote to another person who noted somebody else was fishing near him.

Then nothing.

Something, Brown said, He must have threw Kawahara to his boat.

Fishing alone is not recommended, but Brown said it was a common practice, especially among experienced fishers.

“It must be a real priority,” Brown said.

Friends and family said they would catch Wuara’s reminders in Qilcine and Seattle at one time.

“People live in accidents, and yes, they are,” said Brown, adding that there were the most common traffic accidents. “But compared to the freeway, I think we find a better part of the agreement.”
