Friday's crazy windstorm drove this sailboat onto the sand on the west side of Vanier Park.

  • @tomperanteau: We called the coast guard. There was no other way we could have helped him, since (a) there was no one on the boat -- it must have dragged it's anchor in the high winds -- and (b) it was way too dangerous to wade out there -- huge waves, cold water, boat rocking up and down. Apparently, a similar windstorm in Vancouver last year beached about 6 boats. Lucky for this guy, his boat got stuck perpendicular to the beach. Sideways it would've tipped over and filled with water.
