Ah well, aside from the seemingly unjust early halibut closure, this season is not ending well for us. Somebody chopped the lock and got away with the kicker off my friend's boat. And the rub is, he had no insurance. He lives on Metchosin Rd. and it happened sometime over the last few days, either in broad daylight while he was at work, or in the wee hours, right out of his driveway. But nobody in the neighborhood seems to have noticed anything.
A 2005 Yamaha, 8HP 4 stroke worth about $2500 these days? He reported the theft and filed the serial number with the police over the phone. Thats about all you can do these days. So just a word of warning, be a little extra vigilant in the security area. Its a drag to have to unbolt and lug the 100 lb. kicker into the house after every trip but I guess its necessary these days.
