Well, there seems to be one flying anyway.

Que. fishing crew picked up by helicopter after boat runs aground

HALIFAX (CP) - Five people had to be picked up by helicopter Saturday morning after their fishing vessel ran aground in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

The crew of the 19-metre-long Stephane C had anchored their vessel, but around 5 a.m. strong waves and winds started pushing them towards Anticosti Island.

The crew managed to call for help, then abandoned ship, making it to shore aboard a lifeboat.

A search and rescue vessel, along with a Hercules and a Cormorant helicopter were all dispatched to the scene.

The Cormorant eventually picked up the crew and took them back to Gaspe, Que.

There were no injuries reported.
