The Tale Of A Whale

An update for you today on the story we reported on recently where a whale went under a boat off Campobello causing the boat to capsize. Tide News has learned not only was the Sardine Vessel responding to the scene but also the Campobello Whale rescue team. Mac Green and Robert Fitzsimmons got the call to respond to the scene where they rescued two people out of the cold water, one of them who could not swim.

The two had been in the water for about twenty minutes and didn't have the energy to climb aboard The Michael Eileen Sardine Fishing Vessel. The Whale rescue Zodiac is the only rescue vessel in the area to respond to incident at sea .. Normally if a boat has sank or is sinking a rescue team would be sent from Nova Scotia. All 5 members aboard the boat are home and doing well.

They had been out whale watching for the day and were headed home when a fin back whale swam under their boat just off of the Head Harbour Light House that caused the boat to leave the water and fly about thirty feet in the air before in smashed back down. The Campobello Whale Rescue Team is still continuing the search for the whale, but it is believe the whale is ok.
