HONOLULU — Personnel from the Coast Guard 14th District and Coast Guard Sector Honolulu met with the survivors of the fishing vessel Vicious Cycle at Pier 4, Friday.
Rescued are Jonathan Hoag, 46, from Rye, New Hampshire, Zaenal, 29, from Indonesia and Syamsul, 29, also from Indonesia.
Coast Guard personnel conducted a thorough search and rescue debrief with the survivors, as is standard practice for cases involving commercial vessels, to gather information that was unavailable during the initial stages of the case. The cause of the sinking is not known and remains under investigation.
"Huge thanks to the Coast Guard and the Navy for our rescue," said Jonathan Hoag. "Everything was incredibly well organized and we are here now to prove it."
