Another one.

CBC radio [as is VOCM] is reporting another search is underway, this time for 3 hunters in a speed boat who are overdue. The report said the boats engine had a history of unreliability.

I have not kept tabs, but from memory this year, especially the fall, has seen an over abundance of search and rescues. I always took a quite pride in the fact people up here took more care and had an intimate knowledge of the land, hence very few SAR ops relative to the traffic.
Well they do have an intimate knowledge of the land, otherwise the results would be different, but it is looking like the taking care bit may need some working on.

Another one update:

Walking down to the airstrip to weigh me dog [for sled harness ordering] just as the military helicopter was taking off for home. So thought all must be safe [see above].
On way home found out that all were safe alright; the guy who had the boat that was reported overdue was safe and sound asleep in his bed when the SAR mission was initiated this morning. Said person arrived home last night, no one bothered to call his arrival in. This goes beyond the realm of care, it is more like stupidity and lack of responsibility.

Realistically their should be repercussions, I wont hold my breath.
