subsequent nights beginning July

B.C. LIFEBOAT Society volunteer
Tully Waisman...society has been
kept busy since January,

23 near Bowen Island. After an ex-
tensive search, nothing was found.

On Aug. 2 the volunteer crew
assisted a broken down 36-foot
boat. The problem was found to
be a dead battery.

In the early hours of Aug. 3
crew searched for an overdue rent-
al boat with four people on board.
The North Shore Lifeboat Society
searched for 5% hours in Howe
Sound for the 17-foot boat. The
vessel was found at 8 a.m. off
Cape Roger Curtis. It ran into dif-
ficulties after running out of fuel.

Again on Aug. 3 at 11:50 a.m.
the Jeff Lin Hl, a  20-foot,
aluminum pleasure craft was on
the rocks at Cape Roger Curtis.
The lifeboat crew members
reported five-foot swells were
causing the boat to smash against
the rocks. The vessel sustained
damage to the keel, and was towed
to Snug Cove.

On Aug. 4 two incidents occur-
red —~ one involved a broken down
20-foot pleasure boat and the other
a broken down 30-foot sailboat.

$30,000 needed

for new

A LIFEBOAT equipped to handle
rougher seas and weather is needed
by the North Shore station of the
H.C. Lifeboat Society.

Peter Howard-Jones, the local
socicty’s chief fund raiser, said a
campaign is currently underway to
raise at least $30,000 by October.

He said if enough funds are
raised, the local chapter would be
able to purchase a second Boston
Whaler lifeboat that would be sta-
tioned at Fisherman's Cove in
West Vancouver.

He said the society's 17-foot
Boston Whaler would be moved to
North Vancouver to service the
harbor and Indian Arm.

The new boat would be 20-feet
in length, heavier and better suited
to rough weather conditions on the

lifeboat

west coast, said Howard-Jones.
And like the smaller boat, the
larger vessel would travel at a top
speed of 40 knots.

Howard-Jones said the North
Vancouver Kiwanis Foundation is
the first organization to respond to
the society's fund-raising cam-
paign. The Kiwanis made a
generous donation to the recent
campaign, and also donated funds
last year to the society.

The Lifeboat Society is a non-
profit organization that relies on
public donations, which are tax
deductable.
