Workers on the Kennebecasis Island Ferry are being congratulated for quick thinking.
They pulled a pair of duck hunters from the icey Saint John River this morning after their boat sank around nine o'clock.
The boat had a duck blind built on it and was quickly taking on water.
That's when the ferries service boat was sent to pick up the hunters who both were wearing life jackets and expect for being cold were no worse for the wear.
Officials believe the boat sank due to a combination of too much gear on board and the high winds.
Workers on the ferry will be nominated for an award of merit for their actions.
