As of 1035EST (01Jan13), the USCGS Alex Haley (mentioned in the link as having rendered aid but fouled one prop with a tow line) was making 1.3kn at a heading of 130deg, per AIS tracking at http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/ Using the "tracking" tab, you can see its course vicinity Sitkalidak Island. Heading to home port (Seattle? Bremerton?) to unfoul its prop, it appears.
