Today’s Weather Trivia:

9 November 2006:2006: The crews of 2 Canadian yachts had to be rescued during a North Atlantic storm. A 10-m yacht, with 3 aboard, foundered some 360 km from Yarmouth, NS, in 7-m seas and 92-km/h winds (over 100 km/h on Cape Breton Island). The 2nd vessel lost its navigation systems and engine power. A tanker rescued the 4 aboard the Rochelle IV, 1 suffering a broken arm from the battering taken by the boat. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
