Second one in two days . It appears the Gods are not pleased with
the atrocity. Or maybe it just that it is a Canadian operation (kinda
like the French going to war thing). Some countries just can't succeed
at anything.

Seven sealers were rescued Saturday afternoon, hours after their boat
sank in icy waters off Cape Breton in eastern Canada, reported
Canadian Press.

The sealers, who abandoned their wooden boat as it took on water and
waited on the pack ice for help, were rescued by a search-and-rescue
helicopter 20 km northeast of Cape North in NovaScotia, according to
the report.

The wooden sealing boat ran into trouble in the same frigid waters
where another such boat capsized earlier Saturday, leaving three
sealers dead and another missing.

Canada's annual seal hunt season began Friday in the Gulf of St.
Lawrence. Ottawa has set a quota of 275,000 animals in this year's
hunt, up 5,000 from last year.
