Have they closed the road yet or do you have to pay?

With what you drive, you don't have to pay!

The tolls are pandemic priced right now but should return to regular pricing sometime in July.

Taxpayers are paying lots to dubious groups with no open bidding to remove boats that may or may not be of concern.

So we were out last week to catch the last supper (so to speak) at the Marina Restaurant. Fantastic as always.

 

We happen to catch sight of this relatively nice boat all crunched up on the rocks. Almost a regular occurrence after winter storms. Such a shame to see. The boat obviously wasn't prepped well for winter as the sails were not stored below. Also looks like the scavengers have entered through the portside window.

 

 

I can't imagine anything worse for a boat owner....with the exception perhaps of the infamous "water cross". Look carefully.

Whatever happened to all the live-aboards in the Gorge Waterway north of the Selkirk Trestle?

They were gone the last time I walked the trestle.

Police believe that the man was trying to retrieve his boat which drifted from the boat launch. It was reported that the man swam to the drifting boat but due to water temperatures he began to struggle. We are deeply saddened by the outcome of this event and our thoughts and condolences are with the family and the community. This incident should stand as a reminder to the public that even the strongest swimmer is at risk without proper flotation equipment in cold water. said Corporal Andres Sanchez of the Sidney North Saanich RCMP.
