I noticed that too, last night. On the CBC news last night the video clips showed the hull numbers clearly to be BC (pleasure craft) numbers (non-commercial). I sure hope he wasn't guiding commercially (or did have his C numbers but just hadn't applied them to the boat yet) otherwise 'horribly catastrophic' just got worse.
If he was guiding and that vessel was not registered through TC blue decal program.
Every last thread of insurance he thought he had will be void.
Very very sad
