An extensive search is underway for two overdue fishermen.

On Friday morning they departed Mary’s Harbour around 6:00 am.

Their vessel is equipped with a VHF radio and two outboard motors.

RCMP received a report last night that the vessel had not returned.

Search efforts throughout the night were unsuccessful in locating the vessel and are currently continuing by air and in the water.

The Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre is engaged in the search and assistance is being provided by the Canadian Coast Guard.
