The search for five fishermen and for clues about what happened to their missing scallop vessel in the Bay of Fundy is now continuing by air only.
What began on Tuesday as a search-and-rescue mission on the water, as well as by ground and air, turned into an RCMP recovery mission 36 hours later.
All efforts were suspended when a winter storm hit Nova Scotia on Thursday, and they resumed only briefly by helicopter the following day.
