Today’s Weather Trivia:
25 November 1932: Exhausted by sobbing, exposure, and hunger, a 4-year-old Japanese boy was found alone in a small boat adrift in heavy fog near Kirkland Island, BC. His father was believed to have drowned in the Fraser River. Apparently, the boat continued until the gasoline ran out, drifting towards the Strait of Georgia. The boy told police that he went to sleep in the boat but when he awoke his father was gone. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
