“We were on rapids about 10 minutes from Lions Park and the dinghy flipped,” recalled 16-year-old Hunter, the youngest of eight children in the Hoffman family. His young niece and a buddy of his were also thrown into the water. “I missed my contact information the most,” Hunter said of the phone he thought he had lost forever. The iPhone 7 Plus was inside a watertight case so the family returned to look for it, albeit with almost no hope. After scouring the area downstream, they gave up. On Saturday, eight months after it went missing, Hunter’s mom Angela received a text from Mayne Island saying the phone had washed ashore in Piggott Bay, where the current comes down Navy Channel and sometimes swirls around the bay.

We work for some really great people, and they have helped us out in many ways. They are making sure that the shifts are divided evenly so that everybody s able to maintain their bills.
