There was a heart-warming reunion Saturday in New-Wes-Valley as the seven fishermen of the Elite Navigator returned home.
The crew had to abandon the fishing vessel off the northeast coast of Newfoundland after a fire broke out Wednesday evening. A search was launched after the vessel was reported overdue. Around 1 a.m. Saturday, SARTechs on a Cormorant helicopter from Gander were hoisted down to a life raft where all seven crew members were found safe and sound.
The town will be hosting a celebratory parade Sunday afternoon.
NTV’s Marykate O’Neill is covering the story in New-Wes-Valley and will have more tomorrow on the NTV Sunday Evening Newshour.
They’re home.
