Rough weather is taking a toll on the grounded fishing vessel Arctic Hunter, which has been stuck on the rocks outside Morris Cove since last Friday.

The 93-foot crab boat has survived a series of storms this week without breaking apart. But salvagers haven’t been able to work on the vessel since last weekend.

Bad weather is keeping salvagers away from the fishing vessel Arctic Hunter, nearly a week after it ran aground.

The boat survived yet another storm Tuesday night and is still in one piece on the rocks outside Morris Cove.

Salvagers returned to the scene today to try to pump out more fuel from submerged tanks. But choppy seas made diving impossible.

The trial of a local fisherman accused of sexually abusing his young daughters began Wednesday in Unalaska.

Michel Bain, 39, faces eight felony charges, ranging from incest to penetration of a minor under 13. The alleged abuse occurred when the children were living with their father in Unalaska -- from 2006 to 2008.

Authorities were not notified of the alleged abuse until 2010. The children had moved out of state and were living with a different relative when they told that adult that Bain had molested them. Police in that state handled the initial investigation, and arranged for both children to be questioned about the alleged incidents of sexual abuse in Unalaska.

Jury selection is underway in the trial of a local fishing captain, who’s accused of sexually assaulting his young daughters.

Michel Bain, 39, allegedly abused his two biological daughters between 2006 and 2008. During that period, the girls were living with their father in Unalaska.

The trial is expected to begin later this week. Bain faces five felony charges for first degree sexual assault of a victim under the age of 13, involving penetration. He's also charged with two counts of incest and one count of second-degree sexual assault of a victim under 13.

The fishing vessel Arctic Hunter is still on the rocks outside Morris Cove, five days after it first ran aground.

Salvage crews haven’t been able to pump any fuel off the crab boat since Sunday because of bad weather, which is picking up again.

Misty King, age 40, was found dead during a welfare check at her home in Unalaska on Friday.

King was alone in the locked house when she died. Director of Public Safety Jamie Sunderland says there were no signs of foul play.

The medical examiner has already released King’s body to her family. Sunderland says they aren't planning to perform an autopsy.

Updated, 5:30 p.m. Monday: The fishing vessel Arctic Hunter weathered a string of storms over the weekend. The 93-foot crab boat is resting on the rocks outside Morris Cove, where it's been partially submerged since Friday.

Resolve-Magone Marine Services had a tough time reaching the vessel due to stormy weather, but crews made it to the scene on Saturday and have since pumped out 9,000 gallons of fuel and hydraulic oil.

Update, 4 p.m. Saturday: The F/V Arctic Hunter made it through a rough night in one piece.

A fall storm with winds gusting to 55 miles swept through the Aleutians late Friday. Coast Guard chief warrant officer Mark Morrissey says the vessel is still afloat as of Saturday afternoon, but damaged.

"The hull has been breached to some extent," Morrissey says. "It is taking on some water."

A fishing vessel ran aground outside Unalaska early this morning. The Arctic Hunter, a 93-foot crab boat, was leaving town to start a fishing trip when it wrecked around 3:45 a.m.

Dan Magone, of Magone-Resolve Marine Services, says his company’s been contacted to provide salvage assistance. Magone says there are 12,000 gallons of fuel and hydraulic oil aboard the vessel. It's not clear if any of that has spilled.
