Man Dies In Bay Of Fundy Boating Fatality

An investigation is underway by the Transportation Safety Board into a boating fatality that killed a man from the L'Etang area off Black's Harbour.
    
The R-C-M-P say the unidentified 45-year-old man was on board the "Wendy and Micheal" Saturday on the Bay of Fundy with his 10-year-old son when they had to abandon their boat.
    
The son was able to swim shore but his dad didn't. The RCMP say the boy then walked several kilometres to a relative's home in order to get help.
    
His father's body was later recovered from the water by fishermen in the area.   

Initial reports indicate something happened to the boat's engine that made the father and son go into the water.
