Canadian fishermen help hoist a man wearing a green hat and a blue plaid shirt onto a Canadian Coast Guard rescue boat that has pulled alongside them. As the man steadies himself, he turns around and says, “Thanks a lot guys,” then waves as the Coast Guard boat pulls away. “That’s one for the books,” one of the men on the fishing boat says. The men, who had departed on a 43-foot fishing boat called the Evening, had been scheduled to return Oct. 15. One of the men’s daughters alerted the U.S. Coast Guard on Oct. 22 that her father had never returned home.
