Interesting day on the water - launched the boat from EA, got about a km out heading towards Race Rocks when my wife and I picked up a distress call....boat capsized, two people in the water near Esquimalt Lagoon. So we headed right over there! Got there at approximately the same time as one of the whale watching vessels, larger boat. We found three people in the water next to a overturned canoe about 1/2 mile from shore, two younger gentlemen and one older gentlemen, they'd been in the water for 15 minutes. Quickly got them onboard and gave them what warm clothes we had, including our own. Ran them and their canoe into shore where rescue crews (fire and ambulance) were waiting.
Now, on to fishing. We fished from Race Rock to Beecher Bay in 400 to 500 feet of water, picked up so decent size coho (10lbs) but it was definitely slow out there!
