The fishing vessel Shawn and Gary found itself in dire condition off Liverpool, Nova Scotia.  The Shawn and Gary had just started fishing a few hours after lobster season started when it suffered a leak and began to sink.  The two crew on board sent out a distress call before having to abandon ship into the vessel’s life raft.  The two men were quickly rescued by the nearby fishing boat Patty and Andy.  No reports of injuries.  The Canadian Coast Guard vessel G. Peddle arrived on scene a short time later.  The Shawn and Gary was last reported as submerged with just a small portion of the bow above water.  The cause of the sinking was not reported.

The 42 foot fishing vessel Jesse G capsized off Cape Beale, Vancouver Island, Canada.   The vessel got caught in moderate winds and an opposing tide causing it to capsize.  The crew were able to make a distress call before the six persons on board were tossed into the water.   The men clung onto the overturn hull awaiting rescue.  The Canadian Coast Guard responded within the hour dispatching a rescue boat to the scene.   All six men were pulled out of the water safely.  One crew reported slight injuries.   Authorities later placed booms around the vessel to contain any pollution released.

The 13 meter long fishing vessel Jesse and Girls caught fire while fishing for scallops in the Bay of Fundy.   The fire started in the engine room and the crew were unable to put out the blaze.   The vessel contacted the Canadian Coast Guard who dispatched an axillary vessel.   Luckily, another fishing vessel arrived and safely rescued the three crew on board.   The Jesse and Girls was taken under tow while the auxillary boat attempted to extinguish the blaze.  The vessel arrived at Grand Manan where local firefighters used foam to ensure the fire was extinguished.  No reports of injuries.   Reports state the damage could exceed $100,000 CAD.
