According to what I just heard on 8983 it would seem as though the 580-foot
freighter 'Antalina' with the 22 crewmembers has been able to get underway and is
making about 6 knots.

Per the Houston Chronicle the rescue was called off at 1949. Hope they all
weather the storm.

Currently monitoring 8983, 5696 and 5680 here.
