Rescue on Howe Sound
On October 24, Squamish RCMP received a report of a person stuck in an eight-foot dinghy in Howe Sound.
The person was unable to get to shore after losing the oars.
Squamish RCMP requested assistance from Squamish Marine Search and Rescue to retrieve the individual, which they did successfully. Police seized the dinghy from the individual and had a conversation regarding boating safety.
This happened on a day when Squamish was under a wind advisory and it was unsafe to be out on the water in a dinghy, Squamish RCMP added.
