Lobster fisherman survives close call, urges safety while on the water
A lobster fisherman from Port Saunders, N.L. had a close call on the water off of Newfoundland’s west coast and is warning others to be safe on the ocean. It was supposed to be another day on the water for Boyd Lavers, a veteran fish harvester with 40 years’ experience. But the situation quickly changed when his leg became entangled in a rope, pulling him overboard. He wasn’t wearing a floatation device. “One of the crew members grabbed the knife and he ran up to me,” Two other crew members were also tangled in the rope and were unable to come to his aid, he said. Typically, he says, he has a crew of three. But that day they had a fourth crew member. more, >>CLICK TO READ<< 13:49
