There are many stories about the hospitality of Newfoundlanders and Labradorians but this one involves the Coast Guard and a man from Cox’s Cove. Bill Best actually lives in Ontario but is from the tiny Bay of Islands Community. He bought a house there and turned it into a B and B. On March 7th, Best was back on the island on a snowmobile trip when he got a call from his mother saying some people wanted to stay in the B and B. Best says he had plans to stay in his B and B but his mother explained it was needed by the crew of a stranded Canadian Coast Guard. He says it took him a while to get home but the community was there to welcome the stranded Coast Guard crew. Meanwhile, Peter Galbraith is a research scientist with DFO and was one of the men aboard the helicopter. He says they’ve been measuring water temperature in the area for the past 29 years. Galbraith says a lot of people from Cox’s Cove were on scene waiting to help. He says that’s when they heard about Bill Best and his Cove House. The men from the Coast Guard chopper took photos of their time at the Cove House and were even served breakfast by Best and his mom before they left.
