KITIMAT —  A search continues this morning for a missing boater in Kitimat harbour.

     The Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre in Victoria says two people were on board a four-metre long aluminum vessel when it overturned after taking on water in heavy rain and near zero visibility.

     Coast Guard officer Dylan Carter said one of the two people was rescued while trying to swim to shore and taken to hospital to be treated for hypothermia.

     He says the second person was last seen clinging to the overturned boat.
