Ah, yes, sailboat I mean. But yacht is a good word. Say it to yourself. Yacht, yacht, yacht, yacht, yacht, yacht, yacht, yacht, yacht, yacht, yacht.
Yacht.
Who wants to meet me downtown tomorrow so we can try selling $20 tickets for the noon sailing of the Undersea Gardens?

The difference between a "ship" and "yacht" is it's condition, size and opulence.
A "large" sailboat is also a Yacht. A large vessel in "disrepair" is a ship or boat.
Looking at the Inner Harbour photo, the two main yachts could be:
I'll see if I can take a few more this Sunday maybe....Zoome. You wanna come out? or anyone else?
I might be up for that. What time? How about combining the photography junket with a pub crawl? Nothing serious, just a beer here and then go for a walk, and then another beer there and then go for a walk, etc.
Aastra...that would be awesome. Feel free to call me.... ######### (too bad erased now) or email me. It would be cool to see you again too. We'll free Zoomer from the confinds of his family for the night!!! Anyone else wanna join? again call or email.
Talking about sailboats and Yachts...I took this photo a couple of weeks ago from the Songhee's hilltop.
from that flickr group, lots of anti-Crystal View views (!) spouted on this page...except for the final comment by a person I believe goes under a different name in these parts...
Hey man!!! You gotta convert the unbelievers!!! Save the lost souls!!! Oh man too funny. How ever there is a guy who has appreciated my photos and has had a good conversation with me. But still hilarious!!!! Hahaha...
By the way I forgot to mention that the 200 Douglas St. Proposal in Jamesbay is now at 15 stories!
Also have some other interesting tidbits too but best not post them on here!!! hehehe!!!

By the way, I am going to City Hall tomorrow night to see what happens with plannings request to Council of raising height limits in the North end of Town by up to 35 percent. This is really exciting!
^I see on Google Maps that's where Simcoe hits Beacon Hill Park. I know there are already highrises around there. If it was on a parking lot I might support it but this will eliminate some valuable affordable rental housing while many vacant lots remain undeveloped!

The building now sits on a large lot, and a fairly big parking lot. All the parking is to be underground. I hear that neighbors would support an 8 story building but he originally went with 12 but is now trying for 15. I guess for me it's better there than on Bear Mountain but I would much rather see the growth happen in Harris Green, Downtown, or even in new areas like Rock Bay. However Jamesbay does need to densify as well. In my opinion.
Not sure how I feel about this one. I still feel the best place for a new highrise in James Bay would have been on the parking lot across from Orchard House.
Exactly! That's why I am not over disappointed that Chard's five story dream there didn't come to reality. I hope that in 5 years or so a nice 20 -25 story condo tower will appear there. Maybe some one will propose a rental tower there!
So the building height relaxation for north town was approved. So how exciting is that. It gives way to buildings of 19 stories for Residential and 16 for Commercial.
It was also fun to watch the Big Bus gong show at City Hall. We had some good chuckles.
