The latest news is that they have located the second body about 10 km away from the first body. They are giving the location as the North, outside part of Nootka Island. Dan was just saying that they showed some news footage of one of the paddlers being hauled off in a stretcher. The arm that was hanging off the stretcher had a latex cuff on it implying that the paddler was wearing a drysuit/top... One fellow was from Nanaimo and the other from Vancouver. Both were in their thirties and reported to be experienced paddlers. Nothing else to add right now... Steve Davis Victoria > Sad new this morning.
