Luck manifested itself in many ways for a pair of Hamilton boaters Monday night after their vessel struck a floating log and sank. After their initial misfortune of punching a threeâ€"inch hole through the bow of their 17â€"foot fibreglass runabout, the boaters used a radio they had on board to call for help. Luckily, even after receiving an erroneous position, a Town of Oakville Waterâ€"Air Rescue Force (TOWARF) boat found them before their craft slipped under. "We got them out of their boat before they got their feet wet," said TOWARF viceâ€"commander Matt Kennedy. "But they were very excited." The incident began around 7 p.m. when TOWARF received a panicked radio call from the two men saying they had struck a "deadâ€" head" and were taking on water from the bow. The men said they were near Bronte Harbor when in fact they were about 500 feet off the light at Oakville. Fortunately, the TOWARF boat was patrolling the water in the area off St. Lawrence Cement and headâ€" ed west and came across the strickâ€" en vessel much sooner than expectâ€" ed at about 7:09 p.m. (It‘s top speed is about 35 mph.) The crew found the two men standing in the stern of the boat trying to keep it level until help arrived. Had they not come in time, Kennedy said the lake is roughly 55 degrees and the men could have TOWARF pluck pair from sinking boat ugust 17, 1994 Country Video Party Friday, August 26, 1994 John Tonelli Sports Centre 217 Laurier Ave. Milton Line Dancing Instruction 8â€"9 p.m. Video Party: 9p.m. â€"1a.m. licensed Tickets: $10 per person By HOWARD MOZEL Oakville Beaver Staff Nashville! donated by Bruce Hood Travel and Hanover Holidays 905â€"845â€"5044 all proceeds to the Canadian Mental Health Association, Halton Region Branch for ticket information call ScotiaMcLeod Win a trip to presents DOoOoR PRIZES As the pair was plucked off the boat the Emerald Bay â€" another Coast Guard Auxiliary boat also moored in Oakville Harbor â€" moved in to help.
