A cormorant helicopter from Greenwood along with two Canadian Coast Guard vessels continue to search for five fishermen off the southwest coast of Nova Scotia. Navy spokesman Lieutenant Peter Ryan says the 45-foot boat, known as the "Miss Ally", went down 120 kilometres southeast of Liverpool. Ryan says the boat sent out a distress signal last night shortly after 11pm.
Ryan says a U.S. Coast Guard aircraft spotted a life-raft early this morning, but couldn't offer any other details. He says the fishing vessel is based out of Shelburne County. A prayer vigil for the five missing fishermen will be held tonight at the Calvary Baptist Church in Woods Harbour at 6pm.
