Photo / Greymouth Star • A West Coast fisherman who drowned attempting to cross the notorious Greymouth bar had cannabis in his system and is likely to have smoked the drug aboard the doomed vessel while at sea, a coroner's inquest has heard. • Brett Ecklund, 36, drowned after his boat the Lady Anna rolled on the bar about 7.30am on April 16 last year. His two crew members, Jethro Carson and Joseph Campbell, survived the tragedy. • An inquest into his death began in Greymouth yesterday. • Talleys Fisheries has this morning rebutted claims that it ordered Mr Ecklund to make the dangerous low-tide crossing that ultimately cost him his life. • ADVERTISEMENT • Advertise with NZME. • Former Talleys fisherman Nolan Bradley said he was unloading his vessel at the time of the capsize and had been told by a Talleys employee that he had to be finished and out of there by 8.30am because the Lady Anna was due in port. • But Talleys Westport-based West Coast manager Kerry Paterson said he spoke to Mr Ecklund via radio at 7am. • He (Mr Ecklund) said the bar was not looking flash and I said that there was no need to come in because he could unload later, the truck was not arriving until 11 (am), Mr Paterson said. • He said that he'd come in and have a look (at the bar), and that was the last I heard of him. • ADVERTISEMENT • Advertise with NZME. • The inquest heard yesterday that after being tipped out of the boat, Mr Ecklund treaded water in the mouth of the Grey River for 16 minutes waiting for a rescue that never eventuated. • The transcript of the police communications log detailing the response from police and rescue services showed that police had cars on the way to both tipheads within two minutes of the 111 call and arrived on site two minutes later. However, it was at least about 12 minutes into the operation before the West Coast Rescue Helicopter took flight from the Greymouth aerodrome. • After 15 minutes it was reported by police on the tiphead that Mr Ecklund was getting real close to the rocks and going under . • The next contact a minute later was: He's doing all right but he's struggling, though and at 16mins it was: He's unconscious in the water, upside down . At 18mins Cobden man Steve Newby dived into the water and recovered the body. • Related articles • NEW ZEALAND • Coastguard defends response to tragedy • 17 Apr 03:25 PM • NEW ZEALAND • Capsized boat to be salvaged today • 20 Apr 12:53 PM • NEW ZEALAND • Maritime NZ to develop lifejacket safety system • 25 Apr 01:05 PM • NEW ZEALAND • Thieves steal grieving son's gift voucher • 29 Apr 05:51 PM • Crewman Jethro Carson gave a harrowing account of the three men being trapped in the upturned boat's cabin. • During the bar crossing he had watched the stern as three big swells built up but went under the boat without breaking. He then noticed a big wave approaching and counted down its arrival 4-3-2-1 to the skipper. When the wave hit, the boat listed heavily to the port side. • Mr Carson said he thought the vessel would right itself, but next minute it was upside down. • We were standing on the roof (of the wheelhouse), I was trying to get the door open, diesel was pouring in like rain and the main engine was still running but there was a drum of oil jamming the door, he said. • Eventually, he managed to force the door open and all three ended up in the water. Mr Carson helped pull Mr Ecklund, who was lethargic and out of breath, up on to the upturned hull. • I said 'we have to get off this' but Nick said, 'no, stick with it until we can't stick with it any more'. Joe (Campbell) and I had just grabbed a life ring when a wave swept us off one side and Nick down the other. • Mr Carson said they tried to paddle to the skipper but were at the mercy of the currents, which took them in different directions; they ended up on the rocks and Mr Ecklund floated around the tiphead.
