A woman who went overboard on a B.C. ferry spent five hours in frigid waters, desperately clinging to a life ring, before being rescued.
The Coast Guard said a woman in her 40s leapt off the vehicle deck of the Queen of Cowichan into the Strait of Georgia south of Bowen Island at approximately 5:45 p.m. on Monday.
A co-ordinated search-and-rescue effort by the Coast Guard, the RCMP and the military stretched into the night, and was nearly called off, when she was found more than seven kilometres away at approximately 10:45 p.m.
