The Coast Guard is searching for a man overboard near Sand Point, on the Alaska Peninsula.

Petty Officer Jonathan Lally says the Coast Guard received a report around 10:30am Friday from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game that a man had gone overboard on the 47-foot fishing vessel Glacier Spirit.  Lally could not say whether the man was wearing survival gear.  

A Dolphin helicopter from the cutter Alex Haley and a C-130 airplane started searching for the man just before noon.  Weather conditions in Sand Point on Friday afternoon are 25 mile per hour winds and 12 foot seas.
