N.L. Premier Andrew Furey gave a special gift to David Tiller, one of seven fishermen who survived 48 hours on a life raft in the Atlantic Ocean.
After a harrowing rescue in the cold North Atlantic, and more than 48 hours on a life raft with six of his fellow crewmates, fisherman David Tiller wanted two things: A new guitar, and tickets to see an upcoming Nickelback concert in St. John's.
On July 20, the crew returned to New-Wes-Valley, and the town celebrated with a parade the next day in their honour. Premier Andrew Furey attended the parade and organized a presentation in his Confederation Building office to give Tiller his present on July 26. The boat was discovered at 1 a.m. on July 20 when search and rescue teams spotted a flare — the last flare the crew had on their life raft.According to Jason Maloney, a search and rescue technician with the squadron, two of the fishermen had mild cases of hypothermia when they were rescued, and two also had some burns from the fire on the fishing boat.
