Idyllic or unsafe?
If the four boats rafted together dragged their anchor on an outgoing current or in strong winds, the Selkirk Trestle would be in danger if the boats ended up against the pilings and an onboard fire broke out
Yes that scenario is touching and has great shock value to it mayb ethe TC will have it front page in their new Nimby Pull out section.
Here is a scenario that you could use to persuade them to close fishermans wharf while they are hacking each other to death about the live abords in Selkirk
Some people Illegally feeding the seals down there decide to order some fish and chips from barbs. The cook starts deep frying the fish when all of a sudden the deep fryer catches fire and explodes sending hot grease everywhere.
The builing catches fire the the wharf and all the boats tied up there.The burning boats break free becasue their ropes are gone and a group of them float into the harbour on the in going tide. they go under the Victoria clipper wharf and it catches fire....next all of victoria is on fire. All because of a Seal that didnt know how to hunt for itself because human taught it to each from their hand outs.
It bothers me that there are Nimbys here that b-tch about anything. I can only guess that it is people in their fancy Victorian homes and Dupexes dont like looking at the boats the other 99.8% of CRD residents dont care and dont see them.
Would you prefer to make these boat people homeless so that they can sleep on the streets with the other thousands of homeless in this city?
