@PaulBusch So if the Coast Guard sees a boat that they think is smuggling things in, they call the RCMP, who then send in their own boat to intercept? That seems like an unwise use of resources, particularly when the RCMP seem to be over-stretched with different tasks.

I'll post some belated stuff today; my last full day off before returning to work tomorrow.
One of my search & rescue friends took me away for an off grid day hiking adventure yesterday & we got home last night.#Carmanah Point #LightStation was established in 1891. The first #lighthouse there was built of wood & attached to the keeper's housing. The present tower was built in 1920 of concrete & remains in operation. The area is said to be named for the upstream #Nitinaht village. It is said the name means "thus far upstream".
In Summer 2024, #Canadian Fisheries & Oceans along with the #CoastGuard announced that the light station was seismically unstable & would be destaffed before the end of the year. On Oct. 25, lightkeepers were removed from the station. The decision to destaff the station has been met with heavy criticism from various local authorities, including local governments, indigenous leadership & industry leaders.

#US #CoastGuard Has A Working Heavy I#cebreaker Again
#USCGC #Pola Star returns to service amid a glaring U.S. icebreaker capacity gap that was made worse by a recent fire.
The medium icebreaker USCGC #Healy, the service’s only other icebreaker available for operations in the #Arctic and #Antarctica, sailed back into Seattle earlier this month after suffering a fire that forced its crew to abandon a planned deployment to the High North.
