Snow crab harvester Joel Camus, a career fisherman who has seen his share of tragedy on the water, looks out at the horizon while headed out at dawn on the season's first day in Cheticamp, N.S.
Mr. Camus told a story of a man he knew who fell into cold water while setting lobster traps a few years ago. The captain grasped his outstretched hand in the water, but then had to let it go. The man drowned.
