HALIFAX RCMP say the search for the crew of a missing fishing boat is facing more weather-related roadblocks. On Friday, RCMP said about 20 kilometres of coastline between Hillsburn and Morden, N.S., were searched by helicopter for the Chief William Saulis scallop fishing boat and its crew. The search did not locate the missing fishermen or boat. The ground search was suspended Friday because of weather concerns. RCMP say the ground search will remain suspended indefinitely, citing unsafe conditions. Police helicopters are expected to continue the air search Sunday, weather permitting. ONE PERSON FOUND Searchers found the body of one crew member late Tuesday from the boat that went missing that morning.
