Four people rescued on Lake Superior

The Canadian Coast guard were involved in a water rescue on the east of Sleeping Giant this morning.  A vessel ran aground near Edward Island and had to be rescued.  Maritime Coordinator Robert Bradbury says they received a distress call at 7:43 this morning and sent out a May-Day call shortly after.  It was a 45 foot commercial fishing boat owned by Thunder Bay's Glen Dawson who was one of four people rescued after the boat began taking on water.  The four were rescued by a different boat in the area and  were taken to shore injury free.
