My three friends were fishing at the island. The bellows failed and the boat sank. I was told it happened so quickly that they only had time to abandon the boat. This happened Thursday and they were rescued Saturday morning. As you know, the island is nothing more that a giant rock covered with seals and bird poop. Spending two nights on that island must have been cold and miserable. They are very lucky they were near the only land in the area. If this had occured away from the island, the outcome could have been much worse. Erik
