Three days since Stan Bennett and his crew were rescued safe and sound after issuing a mayday from their burning 'Challenger Traveller' on June 22, they were trying to figure out how to best chart their new course forward. Two years ago, Bennett acquired the 'Challenger Traveler' which was his first ship with refrigerated seafood tanks, which are used to preserve the catch while still offshore. Bennett was now looking for the fishing gear $70,000 worth and cages he left behind on the ocean, where his crew had dropped 500 pots. He had no direct coordinates. The vessel was covered by insurance. The Canadian Coast Guard said on June 25 there was no pollution risk following the fire since the blaze consumed the fuel onboard. A minor non-recoverable oil sheen was reported on the surface of the water, but quickly dissolved and no more sheens were observed at the sinking site..
