The search continues on the waters around Fogo Island for two overdue hunters. A combined search and rescue effort, including the RCMP, a helicopter from Gander, two Coast Guard vessels and a DFO boat has been underway since last evening. The RCMP say the two men, both from Fogo, left early yesterday morning in a small boat to hunt turrs. That was the same day a man died in those same waters after the Seafaring Legend sank. The vessel was bound for Twillingate with a load of shrimp. Three other crew members have been transported to Gander in good condition. Commander Mike Considine with the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre in Halifax says the investigation into the cause of the incident continues.
