On November 30, the Coast Guard answered a distress call from the STEVE C, a fishing vessel holding around 22 tons of catch. Apparently, the STEVE C had lost steering in bad weather about 21 miles northwest of Clatsop Spit, Oregon, that morning. Coast Guard reached the STEVE C by 52-foot motor lifeboat TRIUMPH early that afternoon and, through 14-18 foot swells, was able to tow the disabled vessel across the Columbia River bar to moor at Cape Disappointment shortly after midnight. There were no injuries reported.
