Tuesday and Wednesday (Sept. 5 & 6) Searches
Tuesday - for various reasons we only had six people go up to North Bay.
Two boats went out to do searches. Two people and a local went out on one boat covering areas to the west and south of the Inn and the other four went on another boat covering the areas to the east of the Waltonian Inn.
Our boat searched the surronding islands around Lonely Island and the shallow waters in that area as well.
We searched the shore lines of other islands to the south of Lonely Island and then performed an extensive three hour search of the entire southern shoreline.
We returned around 2:30.
In the meantime, locals on three seadoos went and searched areas throughout the lake in the morning and again in the afternoon.
While the other group was searching the western marsh areas, A volunteer searcher from Monsey sent out a team of sniffing dogs and divers to Callander Bay. They returned without success after an extensive 3hr dive search. (Click on photo to enlarge)
Wed. A group of 15 searchers came up from Toronto. Because the waters were choppy as a result of the previous night's storm no boats were sent out.
The group was split up into 5 search groups consisting of three searchers. The groups were sent to the rocky shorlines to the east and west of the Inn.
In the afternoon the groups were sent out once more to other areas to the east, west, and south west areas.
The schedule for today (Thurs) consisted of 14 volunteers going out on seven boats with locals. A large and significant area of the lake shoul be covered.
