They are returning to shores in a damaged boat
NAGERCOIL The weeklong trauma of the families of 11 missing fishermen from Vallavilai vanished on the dawn of Wednesday as the missing crew re-established contact with the families with the satellite phone they were carrying to inform them that they were safe though their mechanised boat ‘Mercedes’ was rammed by a ship. Vallavilai, a village close to the Kanniyakumari-Kerala border, lost its peace after the families of 11 fishermen in this sleepy coastal hamlet received a phone call from the fishermen of another mechanised boat ‘Periyanayagi’, also from Vallavilai, around 1 p.m. on Saturday last to inform them that fishing boat ‘Mercedes’ in which their breadwinners were sailing, was found drowned in the high-seas – 630 nautical miles off Goa coast.
