GRANDE-DIGUE, N.B. — A search is continuing today for a 64-year-old New Brunswick man who was last seen Wednesday ice sailing on Shediac Bay.

Shediac RCMP say the last known whereabouts of Daniel Robichaud was at the end of Martin Road where it meets the bay in Grand-Digue, N.B., Robichaud’s hometown.

Police released a photo of the man’s ice sailing craft, which has a large, multicoloured windsurfing sail attached to a small wooden platform affixed to a pair of what appear to be downhill skis.

Robichaud is described as five feet eight inches tall, 165 pounds, with grey hair, brown eyes and a trimmed grey beard.

He was last seen wearing an orange winter jacket, black snow pants, as well as protective equipment including white hockey shin pads, shoulder pads and a black hockey helmet.
