Looks like a good ending to the VY0V/VE3LYC, Cezar, story!
Bernie, W3UR

Please forward this or publish as needed to inform all concerned.

At 9:45PM CDT/0245z April 2, I spoke by phone with Cezar VY0V/VE3LYC's
wife Lucy. 
Lucy had convinced RCMP that an air rescue was needed because the ground
team was way 
overdue. She said the 2 man ground rescue team arrived (after 27 hours)
about the same time the twin otter plane did around 8PM local. Cezar
called Lucy upon arrival back in Fort Severn, about 120km from East Pen
Is. NA-231. One of the two guides who took Cezar to the island was
aboard the plane to assist in exact location. He was one of the two who
abandoned Cezar approximately 8am on Tuesday, saying they had business
back in the village of Ft. Severn and would return. Cezar put out his
SOS for Rescue Wednesday afternoon after they didn't return after 38
hours and he had run out of generator fuel, had no fire, battery running
low for radio, rain and wind howling. 

A good ending to a really tense time!
