Word has reached me that the 2nd Mate On the Pacific ocean, currently at anchor in the harbour, is seeking asylum. reportedly he called Halifax traffic from a Handheld Radio and reported that he was being detained.

The RCMP is reportedly Boarding the Vessel Now.

The Vessel Originally put in for CFIA gypsy Moth Inspection.

UPDATE:Apparently the mate recanted his statements after he made them last night. Unsure what the RCMP found, however the Vessel departed at 14:00.
