breaking newsTwo fishermen, who were reported missing since Sunday, have been found, information reaching DNO has revealed.

On Wednesday morning, the police issued an official statement on the missing fishermen, Vernon Benjamin, 34, and his brother, Dever Benjamin, 24.

    I am pleased to know that they were found. Their family must be relieved, at least they were found. I hope they will recover from whatever may be ailing them.

    Hallelujah. This is music to my ears.

  4. We thank God for the recovery of the two fishermen who were missing at sea.

    Also much appreciation to the coast guard and all who shared in the search.

    A family experiences terrible anxiety and fear at such a time. Everybody is relieved and happy the ordeal is over.

    Let us pray now for the complete healing of Vernon and Dever Benjamin as they recover from the trauma of this experience, and also for their family members.

    Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill. Evangelist.

    Anytime one goes out on the open ocean with a one-engine boat, they are rolling dice.
    I am not going out to fish miles offshore unless the boat has twin engines.

    Sorry.

    • Zandoli thank you!

      This is a word of wisdom for all who go out on the ocean.

      Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill. Evangelist.

      I fish with 10 engines, a helicopter, a backup ship, A big sea turtle, 3 dolphins and use my stunt double, but when the water rough I just go and buy my fish in Portsmouth.
