park. Saanich Police; the Public Works and Parks
Emergency After Hours Team; and the coast guard were notified.
The owner himself was present on the beach when CBRA Chair Eric Dahli and CBRA Director Rick West arrived there around 4:30pm. They advised him to get in touch with C-Tow.
Update November 14, 2017, 2:35 PM: The subject boat will remain on the beach until
such time the sea water can be pumped out and therefore make it possible
for C-Tow to pull it off the beach. There was an unsuccessful attempt
to remove the Norsulyn to-day at the 1 pm high tide.
Update, November 15, 2017: The subject boat was removed from the beach in Cadboro Bay at 1:10 this afternoon. C-Tow had two of their boats pull it free at high tide. The coast guard was there to assist with a pump.The
destination of the Norsulyn is not known. According to the owner , Mr.
Ross Griffin the starter motor was not working so the Norsulyn must be
towed or sailed to a new destination.C-Tow may be aware of the final hopefully secure destination.
