Newfoundlander to the rescue
Newfoundlander to the Rescue <br /> <br /> I read a heart warming story in the Nov 26, 2014 issue of Chronicle Hearld in Halifax. A sailing vessel the Amoeba, captained by John Bryson out of Beddeck NS, got into trouble in a severe storm off Sable Island on it�s way to Bermuda. High winds and 20� swells threatened to capsize the vessel. Fortunately one of Clearwater Seafood�s fishing boats, the Concord, was nearby, and stood alongside until conditions improved, calling every hour to check on the progress of the stricken vessel. The Amoeba�s skipper never got the name of the captain of the rescue vessel, but he said, I knew he was a Newfoundlander right away. When I was talking to him he said Don�t worry me son, it will be good. Typical Newfoundlander with salt in the blood.<br /> <br /> Credit: The Chronicle Herald, Wed.
