Kayakers Missing Off Vancouver Island: Search Expands to U.S. Waters

The search for a pair of missing kayakers off Vancouver Island has expanded to U.S. waters.

Daniel MacAlpine, 36, and Nicola West, 26, disappeared Saturday afternoon while travelling between Island View Beach and D’Arcy Island. The duo were in a teal-coloured tandem kayak.

Multiple search-and-rescue teams searched the area Sunday, supported by helicopters, but found no trace of the men.

Search efforts are now being concentrated along the Haro Strait, towards San Juan and Lopez islands in the U.S., and towards Coal Island in the north.
