Two boaters rescued after fishing vessel sinks in B.C.

Two people were rescued Sunday afternoon after their fishing vessel sank between British Columbia’s Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island, according to B.C. Ferries. The ferry operator said the rescue was launched after reports of people in the water. Crews from the Spirit of British Columbia and Coastal Renaissance each deployed rescue craft, and the two boaters were taken to the Tsawwassen terminal on the mainland. B.C. Ferries said it did not have information on the condition of the rescued people. The incident caused delays to sailings later on Sunday.
