Vessel stolen
Deer hunter finds boat hidden in forest ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca
A weekend that began with a horrible shock ended in celebration for Tofino couple Jesse and Nicki Blake who were reunited with their boat roughly 24 hours after reporting it stolen. “It’s just such a horrible feeling to be robbed like that from your home,” Jesse told the Westerly News. “It was an unbelievably gross feeling and then just to have my boat back and seeing the community be so supportive; you don’t know you have a community until they’ve got your back like that.” The pair had recently returned from a trip to Nova Scotia to discover their 17’ boat Calais was missing from in front of their Jensen’s Bay Road home. Jesse said he was not initially concerned because he had told some friends they could borrow the boat while he was out of town but, when he called to ask where it was, they said they had not used it. The boat was reported stolen on Friday and news of its theft quickly spread throughout the community, leading to its retrieval on Saturday. Jesse said a man, who has asked to remain anonymous, had discovered the boat hidden under some brush while deer hunting near Ucluelet roughly two weeks ago.
