Original Toronto Star caption: Helicopter rescues sailors: Hovering over Lake Ontario, a Canadian Forces helicopter picks up the Burgess couple after they were found floating in the lake about 32 kilometres (20 miles) south of Bluffers Park. Experts say it was 'incredible' that they survived in the frigid waters for 18 hours. The couple said they were always sure they would be rescued eventually.
