Editor:Special thanks to the Sechelt paramedics, Sechelt fire department, Search and Rescue, and air ambulance on Sunday, Aug. 8 for rescuing our friend who suffered a medical emergency and was rendered unconscious.
We were in a very remote, rocky treed area around Homesite Creek. Medical equipment had to be hiked in and our friend was carried out on a stretcher to the waiting air ambulance that had managed to perch on a somewhat clear rock.
All displayed a high level of professionalism. Carrying over 200 pounds of weight, plus equipment over such physically-demanding terrain was extremely difficult. To all involved, our friend is now recovering in a Vancouver Hospital.
Cheryl, Dan Sklazeski and the Halfmoon Bay Hikers
