Authorities say a search was underway Sunday for four people, two adults and two juveniles, in the waters off Homer after a vessel capsized Saturday.
The U.S. Coast Guard received a mayday call around 7 p.m. Saturday for a 28-foot aluminum vessel taking on water with eight people aboard, according to Petty Officer Shannon Kearney. Four people were rescued by a good Samaritan vessel, with no reports of injuries, Kearney said.
An active search continued Sunday morning for the four people still believed to be in the water, she said. Coast Guard assets involved in the search include the cutter Naushon, a C-130 and helicopter, and two 29-foot vessels.
The Coast Guard arrived on scene at about 8 p.m., officials said.
Alaska Wildlife Troopers and multiple good Samaritan vessels were also involved, a troopers spokesman said Sunday morning.
The search area is roughly 14 nautical miles west of the Homer Spit, according to the Coast Guard.
