At least one bereaved relative said word of the suspended search was likely to compound the emotional pain of her loss. RCMP Sgt. Mark Bishop, the leader of the force’s Nova Scotia dive unit, said he felt both a sense of achievement and disappointment when the boat was located. The quest for the Chief William Saulis was an unusual operation for the Mounties’ diving unit on the East Coast. “Between weather issues, vessel issues, tide and currents, it wasn’t a quick process,” Bishop said.
Powerful currents made the sonar unit, referred to as a towfish, difficult to manage close to the sandy, largely featureless bottom. As the sea swelled, the jerking around of the cable would transfer down to the towfish, distorting some of the images. “At that time we hadn’t deployed our own equipment,” Bishop said. “We felt at the time our equipment was sufficient for what we needed to do.”
Tragic. Praying for all the families

'Aliens are coming': Alberta RCMP 911 dispatchers fielding calls about UFO sightingsA blinding flash of light, something unidentified overhead or aliens at the door. Somewhere the truth is out there. HAHAHA! Only in Alberta! Fix your education system! Aliens at my door! 🤣🤣🤣 Head for the hills [mountains]! I’m starting to think that decades of O&G extraction has somehow altered the DNA of Albertans. There’s a lot of religious science denying wackos out there.
