The Daily Astorian posted an article about it this morning at the following link:

Also some further information from Stormfeather:

"Captain Steve and crew of the Lady Washington, and local Coast Guard, assisted by two nurses who were attending the event as members of the pyrate group Rifle, Loot and Salvage, Co., Mary Egan and Tracy Nietupski, are credited with quick and professional action on Lucas's behalf.

Lucas is in the Intensive Care Unit at Oregon Health Sciences University
(OHSU) and cannot take calls or visits from non-family members at this time.
Cards and balloons are welcome, no flowers.

Lucas was a "Two Weeks Before the Mast" volunteer on the Lady Washington. I had the privilege to get to know him quite well as a member of the crew that I sailed with on the Coos Bay, OR to Ilwaco, WA transit last week. He loves adventure and has a good strong fighting spirit. The medical outlook is good that he will recover from this accident. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

Bob Kennedy and Grays Harbor Historical Seaport has been in touch with his family in Switzerland."
