Overdue Boaters Make Way To Safety
Some damage to their boat, but a happy ending to a journey for three Fort Frances men forced to spend a night on an island on Rainy Lake last week.
OPP were called Thursday morning after family members reported the men overdue from an excursion the night before to a restaurant on the U.S. side of the border.
Police say when the men were returning, their boat struck a reef, forcing them to an island.
The men flagged down a vessel the next morning who returned them to the mainland where they called home to report they were safe.
