Newfoundlander to the rescue

Submitted by: John Cornick

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&acirc;��s way to Bermuda. High winds and 20&acirc;�� swells threatened to capsize the vessel. Fortunately one of Clearwater Seafood&acirc;��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&acirc;��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&acirc;��t worry me son, it will be good. Typical Newfoundlander with salt in the blood.<br /> <br /> Credit: The Chronicle Herald, Wed. Nov 26, 2014. <br /> <br /> <br /> John Cornick<br /> Halifax, Nova Scotia   Submitted By: John Cornick
