At 19:00 on 01 Jul 2023, the Delta L/B departed Ladner for Steveston with 11 crewmembers and 5 guests to perform a safety patrol and enjoy the fireworks. A detour was made to give the guests a chance to see the Reaches and Fraser River from a different perspective. The RHIB was launched to demonstrate RHIB handling and sticking to the Delta.
At approximately 20:45 the Delta L/B anchored outside Steveston harbour and the crew and guests relaxed and socialized waiting for the fireworks to start. The RCMP and RCM-SAR were patrolling the inner harbour but this time there weren’t many boats on the water compared to previous times. At 22:15 the fireworks started and the crew and guests enjoyed it very much. No incidents were encountered and after the fireworks, the Delta L/B retrieved the anchor and headed back to Ladner Harbour where we secured at approximately 23:15.
