^ That little bay to the west of the Oak Bay Marina has eaten more boats than one could imagine.

and the time in the 90s when the marina broke loose.

I think when sealand was there the whales were free to go out to the ocean after show hours. and they wrecked a few boats in that bay too. and also were mistaken for cadborosairus twice too.

^^ A friend of mine lost his boat there when a portion of the marina’s dock broke loose.

Nothing good comes out of a south east wind.

I doubt they have airlines or even planes just for whales. seems too niche. even Noah’s ark had to take other animals to make the trips Profitable. and that was before inflation was invented.

on day one god said let there be light. It was around day 80 he says let there be inflation. And Noah was around 40th day. if I’m rembering bible school right.

North Saanich has given the owner of a floating structure off Lillian Hoffar park until April 28 to lift anchors.

 

“Be advised that this vessel is trespassing on the District of North Saanich property, 10563 McDonald Park Rd. (known as Lillian Hoffar Park),” reads the notice. “If you do not comply with this Notice to Remove, the vessel and contents will be discarded without further notice. All costs to remove and discard this vessel and contents will be at the owner’s expense.”

 

24786322_web1_210408-PNR-NoticeOnBoats-b

 

The municipality posed the notice in stepping up enforcement efforts after having encouraged voluntary compliance through signage posted in November 2020. “At this time, a number of boats still remain illegally moored,” said Meghan Mason, North Saanich’s manager of communication. “Accordingly, on April 6, District staff served notices to boat owners, notifying them that if the boats were not removed by April 28, vessels and contents would be discarded without further notice.”

it would appear there are lots of boats there.

Aren't the high seas beyond Canada's territorial jurisdiction?
