Suspicious Boat Activity
Sunday, August 27, 2023 at 7:27AM Hello!
This is a follow-up to Caroline Hanson-s – E-Spokes posting of yesterday. We are next door to the Hansons on Forbes Drive. Early this morning, around 12:15 am, I happened to be awake and looked out our window and saw a small light flashing on the water, close to the shore. There was a boat out there with no running lights on. I got up and walked down to the beach. I could again see a small spotlight turned on and then turned off again as it went around the point at Overbury Point. It headed into Preedy Harbour. At around 4 am, I could hear a small boat coming up the coast, close to the shore, heading north. It was a noisy boat, as mentioned in Caroline's e mail (perhaps a diesel motor?). Again, no running lights, but a small spotlight being turned on briefly near our property as it went by. It continued to head northwards.
So, this is a heads up to people living along the coast to be aware of this boat, if they happen to hear or see it come by.
I have reported these sightings to the Ladysmith RCMP on their Non-Emergency phone # 250 245 2215.
