Re: [Paddlewise] kayaker missing off boundry bay (Vancouver BC)

Update

Kayak capsized due to waves. Paddlers tried to right the
boat with no success. Survivor managed to swim 150 meters
to shore. His friend perished in 6 meters of water. Divers
recovered his body this afternoon. Both individuals were
sitting on their pfd's. A very sad story.
