Search underway for missing boater off Labrador coast
A search and rescue effort is underway for a missing boater off the east coast of Labrador, a Joint Rescue Coordination Centre spokesperson told CBC News on Tuesday. The missing boater is aboard a 20-foot sailboat, with a last reported position — from one week ago — estimated to be 296 kilometres, or 160 nautical miles, off of Cartwright. The JRCC said the sailor had been updating friends and posting on social media about the trip. The last time they were heard from was on Thursday. A Hercules aircraft was deployed from Trenton, Ont., and the Canadian Coast Guard sent vessels to the area to participate in the search. PAL aircraft are also helping in the search. The JRCC said the person is from Tadoussac, Que., and sailed out of Blanc Sablon with the intention of reaching Greenland. No other details are available.
