A Nova Scotia Fishing Boat’s Life Raft Turned Up Where?!

So get this… a life raft from a fishing vessel in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia somehow ended up in a place called the Azores. Never heard of it? Same here, but wow, it looks like paradise!

The Azores are a group of islands that are technically part of Portugal, sitting about 1,000 km off the coast of Newfoundland and a jaw-dropping 3,300 km from Yarmouth, where the raft originally came from!

No word yet on how the raft got lost or who found it, but it’s one of those wild tales of how powerful the Atlantic ocean tides are!
