Alaska State Troopers in Nome notified the Coast Guard around 2:30am Sunday that a seal hunting party of five adults and one child were unable to return to Savoonga. A Coast Guard MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter crew transported the hunting group back to Savoonga’s airport in good condition at 9:30am yesterday morning.
