Priest Lake continued
by Larry E Yake 16 Sep '04

16 Sep '04

The strange and tragic tale of my trip to Priest Lake this summer continues. I'm asked from time to time if they ever found the body of the sailor whose boat I found grounded on Eight Mile Island. Short answer, no, but here's where it gets strange. The victim was a fireman. I got a call from one of his coworkers this evening. He is an experienced search and rescue diver who has connections and access to some sophisticated search equipment. Commited to finding the body so the widow isn't left with nothing (no body, no death certificate), they're up there now doing a search of the lake bottom with side scanning sonar and a remote operated rescue machine. They searched the location I gave the Sheriff's boat where I saw (on my fish finder) a large object on the bottom in 300 feet of water shortly before discovering the grounded sailboat. Down there they saw several huge fish in the 5 to 6 foot range, but no body. They did find a body not far away off Eight Mile Island, but it wasn't him. It had been there a long time, with what they think is a sailboat on the bottom nearby. They are trying to run down scarce leads on who else has drowned up there and not been recovered. Two days before this all began, before the discovery of the Jodi Beth grounded, I sailed into Indian Creek campground to give a buddy and his wife a promised but long postponed day of sailing on Tullamore. Joining us was her mother, a native of the Priest Lake area who has always wanted to sail, but never had the opportunity. She enjoyed the trip immensely and soon began to tell stories about the old days on Priest Lake. "My uncle drowned out there off Eight Mile Island, and they never did find him." The searchers are on the phone with her now. Larry

Reply directly as I'm not sure Arnold is a list member. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Arnold Haskin" <AHASKIN(a)csudh.edu> To: <kdiehl(a)xmission.com> Sent: Monday, September 13, 2004 5:21 PM Subject: Proposal for a 2005 Montgomery Sailboat Northwest Rondezvous Could you forward the following information to the MSOG mailing list, I didn't have any luck using montgomery boats(a)mailman.xmission.com . My name is Arnold Haskin,while I am new to the MSOG, I have owned an M-17 for about 10 years. I spend Summers in the Northwest and Winters in Southern California. I am exploring the possible interest in a rondezvous for 2005, at the Port of Brownsville in Washington State (check the Port of Brownville website for pictures and information). The Port has excellent facilities for trailer boat, including trailer parking. The Port is located West of Bainbridge Island about 20 miles as the crow flies from Seattle. There are a number of good cruising destinations in the immediate area, and it is convenient to Port Townsend or the San Juans. A cruise to Poulsbo would be 1.5 to 2 hours travel time as an example. There is a party pavillion, barbecue area and camping area as well. The Port is a popular cruising destinations so reservations for the the Summer of 2005 should be made as soon as possible. Please e-mail me prior to Oct 10, 2004, if you would like to express a preference for event dates. I will proceed if I get 10 or more responses. Thanks.
