An off-duty RCMP officer and a retired Mountie together rescued a fisherman from St. Margaret’s Bay after the fisherman’s boat capsized, the RCMP said.

In a release, police said that on May 15 in the afternoon, Sgt. Rick Plume and his wife, retired RCMP constable Lisa Spracklin, were out on their sailboat near Clam Island in St. Margaret’s Bay.

“They were making their way back to shore when they noticed a man in a small fishing boat, who was frantically bailing out water,” the RCMP said.
