THREE BAJAN FISHERMEN may have been in a sinking vessel but they were not totally out to sea.

Thanks to the swift efforts of their colleagues, Captain Mark Davis, Troy King and mechanic Kurtis Norville made it back to dry land after having to abandon their vessel Eureka S22, which took on water.  nicholas-squires-and-clifton-bourne

Yesterday afternoon at the Bridgetown Fisheries Complex on the Princess Alice Highway, The City, after the ten-hour trip, the men thanked Nicholas Squires and Clifton Bourne (right) of vessel Justina L22 who came to their rescue after hearing the distress call.

It was not the first time the three rescued men were in such a situation, nor was it the first time that their rescuers Bourne and Squires had to take such heroic action. (TG)
