The 738-foot tanker Golden 
		Seas makes 3.5 mph through 20-foot seas north of Adak Island, Alaska, on 
		Friday. Coast Guard aircrews were launched from Air Station 
		Kodiak in response to a report that the Golden Seas had lost propulsion 
		and was drifting, but when an HC-130 Hercules aircrew 
		arrived and made contact with the vessel captain, the crew of the vessel 
		reported that they had regained propulsion and were 
		waiting on a tug to escort them to Dutch Harbor.
