“We keep it dry”
It was a team effort – a text-book emergency response – when a small float plane crashed into the ocean west of Davis Bay just before 1pm on July 30. The privately-owned plane sank, but a nearby tugboat dropped its tow and picked three men out of the water, all of them reported to be okay. A hovercraft then transported the three to the beach at Davis Bay where they were met by police, firemen and ambulance crews. The crash is being investigated by Transport Canada.
