Five Saved When Boat Hits Reef | Vancouver News

A boat capsized in Winter Cove near Saturna Island after hitting a reef, but thanks to a jet ski rider’s urgent shout and swift action by nearby boaters, all five people onboard were rescued before any injuries occurred. Rescue teams including a hovercraft and RCMP responded, but the real heroes were the quick-thinking locals. This incident follows a deadly charter boat sinking just days prior at Roberts Bank, where six people drowned—none wearing life jackets. Authorities are now hammering home one critical message: always wear your life jacket on the water.
