Search teams continued to look for Daniel Robichaud, a 64-year-old from Grand-Digue, N.B., on Thursday afternoon.
According to Lt.-Cmdr. Len Hickey with the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre, Robichaud went missing while ice sailing Wednesday afternoon.
Robichaud was last seen on the shore of Martin Street in Grand-Digue around 1:30 p.m. According to a news release from the RCMP, it’s believed he was sailing in the Shediac Island and Grand-Digue area.
"Right now I’m still kind of hopeful that they’re going to find something, hopefully," said Christel Robichaud, the missing man's daughter. "I’m kind of hoping he’s on the island and just sheltering over there.”
Robichaud’s girlfriend, Rachelle Strugnell, called the RCMP when she couldn’t find him. She told CTV News he’s usually home by 3 p.m. and she started to worry when she hadn’t heard from him by 4 p.m.
Crews responded to the call around 5:30 p.m. and searched until 11 p.m. Wednesday.
