I don’t know what happened, but a short time later I see Waite looking angry as hell, wearing red serge. I was wondering if he was going to court. Up until this moment I still didn’t know what had happened to the boat. I felt rather out of control like it was some deep dark liberty secret. What happened to the frigging boat? It was years later I found out what really happened to the boat, when Don, out of the force for many years, and I shared many laughs together. I guess he and some companions had gone on a semi-police sojourn into the wild entrails of northern Alouette Lake and were jumping off rocks. I heard many stories about Al Burnet water-skiing. He used to take it to do patrols but he was more for taking a female companion as a patrol partner. We had the RCMP crest put on the boat, but Al would cover it up. The boat was always a pain in the butt and the cause for problems. I was glad when it disappeared.
