Joy in Newfoundland after ‘Lucky 7′ fishers survive harrowing days lost at sea
NEW-WES-VALLEY, N.L. — There was a powerful word being repeated in the joyful Newfoundland community of New-Wes-Valley on Sunday: “Miracle.”
Over and over, residents out walking or chatting to one another in local stores said the fact seven fishermen from the area had somehow survived roughly 48 hours in a life-raft in the Atlantic ocean and were found by search-and-rescue crews was nothing short of miraculous.
Daphne Crocker leaned over her balcony and spread out her hands.
“What a mighty God we serve,” she said about the fishermen coming home.
