On a Sunday morning in the waters off Richmond, British Columbia, a charter boat carrying ten people sank near Roberts Bank before many aboard could reach a life jacket. Four were pulled from the Strait of Georgia and handed to emergency care; six others had not been found by nightfall. The sea, indifferent to schedules and intentions, reminded those on shore how swiftly ordinary outings can become desperate vigils — and how much depends on the chance sighting of a passing stranger.
