A Coast Guard helicopter was dispatched at sunrise Sunday to the area where two men were found in a life raft near where the vessel sank around 1:30 p.m. on Saturday.

The search ended at about 8:45 a.m. Sunday when Coast Guard officials weren't able to locate the third fisherman, she said.

A snowstorm Saturday made visibility an issue for the search team, Mausz said. It was unclear if the weather posed a problem Sunday morning.

The two survivors are being treated for hypothermia at Stanford Medical Center and are doing fine, Mausz said.
