A local Stevestonite made a daring rescue yesterday, helping secure a couple's home after it was swept away at low tide.
However, it wasn't a human home, but a swan's nest.
Peter Miessner, an employee of Steveston Harbour Authority witnessed the rescue and
was able to secure the nest with rope to one of the docks, ensuring the nest didn't float away again in the tide.
"On my shift, I talked to a boat owner who saved a swan nest from being swept out to sea during low tide. I dragged the nest back to harbour and secured it with a rope. I loved it and thought that is one of the nicest things I have seen in long time." said Miessner.
