It's been 48 hours, and the Atlantic ain't a forgiving body of water. It would be a miracle if she's found alive. My heart goes out to the Gainey family.The search for Laura Gainey, daughter of Montreal Canadiens' general manager Bob Gainey, has reached a critical stage two days after she was washed off a tall ship from Nova Scotia, rescue officials said Sunday.
On Sunday, the hockey club identified Gainey, 25, as the woman who was swept off the deck of the Lunenburg-based Picton Castle by a rogue wave during a storm Friday night. The Lunenburg-based vessel was en route to Grenada when the accident occurred about 760 kilometres southeast of Cape Cod, Mass.
