Speedboat Swamps and
Two Nomeites Take
Unexpected Swim
Bob Reddaway and Gil Ozenna
took an unexpected swim in Ber
ing Sea last evening in front of
town when their outboard-pow
ered speedboat swamped.
Reddaway was driving and
Ozenna was passenger in the
small boat when the motor started
to buck, and they overturned in
the heavy swells.
They weren’t in the water long,
however, before a motor launch
from the Coast Guard cutter Clo
ver picked them up and brought
, them ashore.
Reddaway said today that the
water wasn’t as cold as he had
expected—until he got ashore.
The speedboat was picked up
and brought ashore after several
attempts had been made by vari
ous boats. The outboard motor
was still attached to it.
