Nicolas West was a carpenter who played in a local rock band called Electric Jane, while brother Daniel MacAlpine worked at an autobody shop and was adventurous, family say.

Daniel, who worked at an autobody shop in downtown ­Victoria, was adventurous and liked to explore historic sites, said stepdad John West. “They had used the kayak for other smaller adventures, but not quite as far as that trip,” said John.When the brothers failed to turn up, John called the RCMP.Their empty teal blue kayak was found on Henry Island the next day, about five kilometres northeast of D’Arcy Island.

Daniel went to Brentwood College in Mill Bay, while ­Nicolas attended Cowichan ­Secondary School in Duncan. Nicolas worked as a carpenter and was a drummer and lead singer for Electric Jane, a local rock band. He also liked to golf, hike and spend time with his friends, Michele said.Daniel, who played guitar, would occasionally join in for jams with his brother, she said.Michele said that Daniel had recently moved back home after his separation from a long-term partner and a fire in his Bay Street building.
