The provincial Joint Rescue Coordination Center said the man, whose name was not released, was attempting to sail more than 60 miles from Bella Coola to Bella Bella, but took a wrong turn in the Dean Channel and mechanical difficulties left him helpless Thursday when winds took him ashore up an inlet near Kimsquit, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. reported.

The center said the man was found in good condition Saturday and taken to a Bella Coola hospital.
