A soccer ball appears to have made a 3,000-kilometre oceanic journey from the top of Baffin Island to the hands of a lobster fisherman on the coast of Newfoundland. Lee Croucher says he saw the ball on the beach on May 30, as he was unloading after a day of fishing off Beaumont, N.L. He picked it up, thinking it would be a neat surprise for his two young daughters. It turned out to be a special reminder that coastal communities are connected, no matter how far apart they might be. The Canadian Press has prepared a map locating the area.
