Grand Manan Fisherman Lost At Sea

It's a sad day on Grand Manan Island as one of their own is lost at sea.


Local fishing boats, along with helicopters and rescue vessels searching the entire night in the Bay of Fundy for a local lobster fisherman who fell overboard.

East Coast Navy Captain Tyrone Grande tells Tide News the call came in to the Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre in Halifax yesterday around 5:45pm.

He says at 7am this morning ( December 21st, 2012 ), there was still no sign of the man and the search was downsized due to weather and consideration to how long the man had been lost at sea.

Grande says the search has now been taken over by the RCMP as a missing persons case.
