We're getting word that orcas have entered the Inner Harbour. A witness tells us he saw them near the Johnson Street Bridge. He saw approximately four.

Can you imagine shelling out $125 for a whale watching tour and your zodiac doesn't even have to leave the dock.

3 of them: https://www.cheknews...harbour-458322/
4 based on the photos/videos. They need to update their article.

Wonder if there were seals on the docks or in boats? Also wonder if folks would have thought it such a cute sight if the whales caught one?

I've never seen red tide, but I'm assuming that's what is visible in the inner harbour. You can see it at the narrowing of the harbour at Laurel Point Inn. It is also all along the Songhees walkway, from the pickle boat dock to the new marina.

Yes, that's red tide. Stay out of the water and do no consume and seafood collected near or along the shoreline. Shellfish ingested by sea life can lead to death, and if eaten by humans that can lead to pretty severe symptoms that most would rather avoid. Eating shellfish along much of our coastline at this time of year is totally out of the question unless its been professionally harvested and tested.

Different red tide! Red tide that looks red is an algae bloom, harmful to fish gills but not toxic to humans. The toxic red tide algae is actually colourless. More from CBC: https://www.cbc.ca/n...aters-1.4749546

Apparently. Why there is red red tide and colourless red tide is beyond me. The article does note that a red red tide bloom does not preclude a colourless red tide bloom from occurring at the same time, so it's still a good idea to know the origin of your shellfish during the warmer months when algae blooms are common.

Shellfish are still safe to eat in months beginning with "W".

There are some interesting thoughts in the following article that appears in today's TC, including this concept for Ship Point
Here is the CoV's "grassy knoll" concept for comparison
but I think the following is the key takeaway:
...Victorians should be looking to optimize the values and the vitality of the harbour’s public waterfront sites, not to inhibit them with just a surfeit of pleasant, but narrow-purpose, static, green spaces. A combination of lively, adaptable, public uses is the best approach for a downtown waterfront...
