Summary
A charter boat sank in the Strait of Georgia, leaving six people missing and four survivors. The former owner, Tim Milne — host of a West Coast boating TV show — says he sold the 30-foot aluminum vessel four years ago in perfect condition. Authorities impounded the boat last summer for illegal fishing in a protected zone, and Milne says he couldn’t reach the new owners to update the vessel’s AIS tracking info, which contributed to the confusion. He insists he’s not responsible for the tragedy and believes the new crew may lack experience. Transport Canada hasn’t confirmed prior violations, and the Transportation Safety Board is just beginning its investigation. Search efforts are hampered by rough seas, while one operator now demands stricter safety standards for charter vessels, especially life-saving gear.
