PORT HAWKESBURY, N.S., Phillip Boudreau, wearing the green rubber boots of a fisherman and a teal baseball cap, took his speedboat out on the water near his Cape Breton home just before 6 a.m. on June 1, 2013.
It was lobster season and boats had been streaming out of Petit de Grat harbour since before sunrise.
One, called the Twin Maggies with a crew of three fishermen, lingered at the mouth of the harbour and then took deliberate aim at Mr. Boudreau's red and white speedboat, according to Crown prosecutor Steve Drake.
It rammed the boat three times, he said. When the attack was over, the little speedboat was capsized and Mr. Boudreau lost to the sea.
