Canadian Coast Guard Rescues 22 From Boat

[thegreasemonkey69]

What good is money when you aren't home to spend it.

[thormx238]

@thegreasemonkey69 to save it for when you retire maybe

[morrison5557]

Hey, would anyone mind telling me what the exact age to join Candian Coast Guard is please?

[thegreasemonkey69]

@morrison5557 Don't join the Canadian Coast Guard unless you want to get a crap wage for being away from your family all the time. Get a real job where you are home to support your family at the end of each day.

@thegreasemonkey69 You start out at $45,000 to $62,000 a year though.... Doesn't sound like crap wages to me.

Good job!

[KomendantHauer]

Im sure they rammed the fishingboat first, we've already seen before that the Canadian Coast guard is not able to manuver big ships properly.

;No creds to the Canadian coast guard..

Some of those Spanish sailors were black!

I didn't know there were black people in Spain!

[davesujo]

@redrainjedi  Are you serious? Read a fucking book!

[fatmoleman]

That was a nice fishing boat.

[fatmoleman]

I was talking about the fishing boat that sank.... Not the rescue vessel that was helping it.. Hello?

[CMPFMS]

Newfoundland and Labrador /can does have rights and responsibilities past the 400km/200 nautical mile limit. In accordance with the United Nations Law of the Sea.

[CMPFMS]

The trawler was said to be 400kms east of St. John's, as you stated. The 200-mile limit is measured by 'nautical' miles, not 'standard' miles... as I just discovered.

1 'standard' mile = 1.609344 kms

1 'nautical' mile = 1.852 kms

If you do the math:

400kms = 216 'nautical' miles, not 248 'standard' miles as most people think.

[CMPFMS]

"Capt. Derek LeRiche said the Crowley had been slowly approaching the vessel with plans to send fisheries inspectors on board when he received the distress call."

No sign of smoke? Sinks in 20 minutes? Just outside the 200 nautical mile limit? about to be boarded?

Things that make you go Hmmm?

[lawl802]

why would the spanish go to canada to steal our fish???

[Squirelbutt]

Same reasons the russians do.. Good fishing hole.

[CSIS25]

they have been doing that for a very long time now over 50 years

[IslandHermit]

Some people will go to any lengths to avoid a Coast Guard inspection.

[BinkieMcFartnuggets]

I'm going to go ahead and guess angry seals lit the boat on fire.

[GiovannaNYC]

From fire to freezing water...thats lucky that they are safe!
