The Coast Guard Cutter Seneca, out of Boston, braved freezing temperatures, 12 foot seas, and 30 knot winds to go to the aid of the fishing vessel Direction. From a scene, approximately 50 miles east of Provncetown, the 77 foot vessel Direction, home ported in Westport, MA, is being towed to safety.

The Direction, with 5 persons onboard, became disabled after the prop became fouled.
