The boat was named Hello, but there was no further description of the vessel or the vehicle that was towing it. Alerts were issued to area marinas and law enforcement, including the Bonner County Sheriff’s marine patrol. Word of the sighting in Utah also appeared on the Idaho Conservation League blog, a post which other Web sites linked to. Juker said somebody spotted one of the posts on the Web, recalled seeing the boat in Spokane and alerted authorities/Keith Kinnaird, Bonner County Bee. More here.

DFO: Arpie brought this Bonner County Bee story to my attention, with the note: "I think a Berry Picker spotted the boat." Susan Drumheller/Idaho Conservation League e-mailed a link from her blog to the story yesterday. And it was posted here. H/T to whoever saw the story and spotted the boat. Also could be someone who reads Pecky's blog.
