Marine Rescue

Two American anglers survived a 48-hour ordeal stranded on Rainy Lake.

A Minnesota houseboat company overheard a May-Day call Saturday night and contacted Canada Border Services.

The OPP and U.S. Coast Guard were dispatched and the men were located in Bleak Bay.

OPP say their 18-foot vessel ran into engine troubles and the boat was drifted across the Bay to a site where they couldn't be seen.

No one was injured.
