Fishermen in life raft rescued off Sable Island
Four Canso fishermen were rescued early Sunday after spending about five hours in a life raft off Sable Island. Another fishing vessel came to the rescue of the Gentle Lady, a small fishing vessel owned by Larrys River-based W.T. Grover Fisheries Ltd. The Gentle Lady couldn’t be saved, company director Thomas Grover said Sunday. “We’re just very happy that everybody’s coming home safely,” he said.
