The entire Ocean Choice family is tremendously relieved that the entire crew of the Atlantic Destiny are safe. Words cannot begin to express the level of concern when we learned of the trouble aboard the Atlantic Destiny. However, this anxiety pales in comparison to what our crew and their families endured. We owe a debt of gratitude to the brave men and women of the Canadian and US Coast Guard along with the crews of the Cape LaHave, Maude Adams, Atlantic Preserver and Atlan...tic Protector that unselfishly answered the call and came to the assistance of our crew. The experience, professionalism and bravery of our crew during such adversity is something that we are extremely proud of. We could not ask for a better team. We take comfort knowing that our crew were able to return safely to their families and loved ones.
