Fog still around @ 11.30. Vis about 500 yards and ceiling even less. No planes if it keeps like this.

No freight boats by the look of it either for awhile. One has to wonder how long the Governments lets this go on before making any comments.

Busy times in Happy Valley Goose bay over the weekend. A Lufthansa jet did an emergency stop over.

Fire destroyed a pizza place Saturday night then fire destroyed the offices of NLHC last night.

On the coast three people whose boat floundered and hit the rocks were lifted to safety by Rescue squad 305 out of 444 Gander.

You can listen to an interesting interview with one of the rescued here.

I heard a news item that the Rescue squad in St Johns is going to be transferred to Halifax, is that right?

No, that is the Marine Rescue Sub-Centre in St. John’s. The co coordinating office.

Big brouhaha it is causing in this province, organizing a protest n all.

I heard the boat owner interviewed on As It Happens on CBC radio tonight, seems they were very lucky to be rescued, he was very thankful and praised the rescue team, putting themselves in harms way to complete the rescue.

Wow, that's quite a story about the Lufthansa jet. That that they landed safe and sound.
