http://www.wellandtribune.ca/2013/07/04/3-killed-in-ontario-float-plane-crash WIARTON, Ont. - Three Sudbury-area men were killed Thursday afternoon when their amphibious airplane crashed in Georgian Bay as it came in to land at an airstrip on Griffith Island. "Witnesses saw the plane approaching and a short time afterwards they looked and the plane was in the water and police were contacted," Const. Alina Grelik of the Grey County OPP said at the dock in Big Bay. Police are not releasing the names of the victims pending notification of next of kin. Grelik said the men, aged 45, 52 and 72, were related. A coroner was at the scene on the southeast side of the 2,300-acre island at about 6:30 p.m. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada's air division is expected to arrive at Griffith Island on Friday. Grelik said police are unable to comment on the cause of the 1:30 p.m. crash. "We can't speculate. That's why the transportation safety bureau will be attending," she said. Police said the blue and white plane was upside down and partially submerged in the water about 200 metres from shore when they arrived on scene. The OPP's search and recovery marine unit was still on the water Thursday night. The Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre out of Trenton, Ont., had dispatched a Hercules aircraft shortly after the crash. Witnesses on shore at Big Bay said the plane circled near the island for quite some time before leaving. All available resources were dispatched to the crash site, Grelik said. Three ambulances stood by near the Big Bay dock as police and other emergency personnel worked on the water for at least six hours. Several people were near the dock to watch as police boats shuttled officers to and from the island. A Griffith Island boat also took people to the island and brought back passengers who were carrying rifle cases. The island is home to a private sport shooting and hunting club. It features a lodge, 2,700-foot turf runway, private ferry service, lounge and gun room. People hunt pheasant, partridge, wild turkey and white tailed deer.

Go to a pawn shop and buy an inexpensive replacement.

My tether is attached to my auto-inflate, that way if I go overboard, the boat stops. Even at trolling speeds, you are unable to swim fast enough to catch your boat. Just a suggestion. And as Irishfield has pointed out, if your tether is long enough, you can move all over the boat and not trip the kill switch.

That explains why he did it, now doesn't it? "Every man for himself"...

As it would be a federal matter, not provincial, talk to the RCMP in Cornwall. Could make for an interesting conversation. The reason I say it is a federal matter, this would be one nation disputing territory rights with another nation.

Looking forward to this event again this year! ALWAYS a BLAST!!

If you do bring some back, I would suggest getting canners, they taste better than markets due to the fact that they are smaller.

Funny I would have to say this to a moderator, but take it to PM's. We don't need a fun thread locked due to a disagreement.

Everyone knows that cops don't drink SOFT drinks... Just kidding.

Roy is SUCH a know it all. However he is correct.

My favorite: "Green trout" coined by Garry2r's My least favorite: "I enjoyed myself". Usually said on the return from yet another skunking.

Well, it appears that Old Ironmaker isn't up to telling the story, so here goes: Old Ironmaker and I had arranged to hook up for perch last Saturday. We met at the appointed time in the appointed place, got introductions out of the way, transferred rods and tackle into his boat, and down the road we went. Destination Port Burwell. Upon arrival it was scene out of traffic nightmares...in the space used for 6 truck and trailer combo's there was 20, we get lined up to launch, enquire about minnows, none to be had. Well shucks we can't launch without bait, made inquiries and found that there were minnows available just down the road. So off the Port Stanley we go. The launch at Port stanley was amazing! Ten bucks to launch, and they have a young fellow to help with your bow lines, hold your boat, whatever needs to be done. We were very impressed by the service here. Minnows were 5 bucks a scoop and quite a few in a scoop as well. Down the river we go to the perching grounds. Two clusters of boat to choose from , we get to a respectful distance and anchor. While fishing for perch, (they were on smoulder but we did OK), it happens. The anchor rope wrapped around the locking latch and released the seat base. Base of the seat comes out, I fall backwards and perform a less than graceful backwards cannonball into the SIXTY TWO degree water. I can only imagine the look on my face as I tumbled over the edge of the boat. I felt my sunglasses slip of my face and start the downward journey to the bottom of erie. Made a feeble attempt to grab them, but missed due to the fact that I was more concerned with getting to the surface than saving my glasses. Make it to the surface, grab the gunnel and there was a conversation regarding getting back in boat, made my way to the back of the boat and climbed up the boarding ladder. Handy things i tell ya! Offers to return to shore are made, declined, squeeze out the water in my shirts and return to fishing. The ensuing conversation included a reference to this story, as I told Old Ironmaker about it and now, as a result, Norm can see turnabout comes to those that wait. I still feel bad about what I did to you Norm, it was absolute foolish design on my part that put overboard. If this case it was a simple error in tie-off of the anchor rope. All's well that ends well, as they say. Old Ironmaker, I am happy to share a boat with you again anytime. However I will be checking the rigging.

Following tradition, I will allow the boat owner tell the story from his perspective. Makes rebuttal that much more sweet.

Very interesting video. http://vimeo.com/22031635
