Sinking boat rescued

Two BC Ferries vessels worked in partnership with the Canadian Coast Guard to perform a dramatic rescue in the Strait of Georgia on Sunday afternoon.

Crews responded to a distress call from a boat quickly taking on water between Nanaimo and Sechelt with three people stuck on board, reports CTV News Vancouver.

The individuals were safely rescued, but it is unknown what condition they are in or whether they sustained any injuries as a result of the incident. 

BC Ferries announced sailings on the Horseshoe Bay - Departure Bay route between Nanaimo and the Lower Mainland would be temporarily delayed.
