A houseboat detached itself from its berth on Lake Okanagan on Sunday.
A houseboat on Lake Okanagan broke its anchor on Sunday morning.
A resident of Wilson’s Landing says the houseboat, usually anchored by the floating logs near Bear Creek Provincial Park, migrated all the way to Lake Okanagan Resort.
“I saw it and finally got the binoculars out and found it was Trader’s Cove,” she said.
Bear Creek Provincial Park to Okanagan Lake Resort is approximately 6 miles away.
Another Castanet reader said the boat was unmanned and “just drifting away”.
The Wilson’s Landing resident said she reported the runaway boat to police.
Last January the same boat had a sinking fright after heavy snow weighed down the boat.
