Tai Chi

No doubt I could benefit from taking up Tai Chi.

Meandering is questionable as a form of exercise. 

Raven

A little Googling revealed that Raven is one of Seapan's newest tugs.
Stanley Park is in the background.

Today's post ...

The Rule Of ...

… thirds implies that the subject ought not to be in the centre of the image.

Rules, schmules !!!

Burrard Pacific Breeze

Three seabuses scuttle (an unpopular verb in nautical circles) between downtown and North Vancouver.
Two of them, Burrard Beaver and Burrard Otter, are older than dirt*.

This one is brand new.

* an exaggeration for effect, they're 35 years old

Navios

A sampling of the view toward North Van and Grouse Mountain from Canada Place.

35 Bathrooms

This isn't the biggest yacht (330') in the world but it's in the top 25.

Attessa IV has just undergone a major rebuild and has been on test cruises in local waters.

This Vancouver Sun article includes an amateur video of the interior.

The boat is owned by Dennis Washington. That's part of his shipyard in the background.

Three In A Row

Three Turbo Single Otters ready for the next flight to the Islands.

Seaplane Terminal, Burrard Inlet

Orange Glow

Who doesn't love a night-lit industrial scene complete with cranes?

DP World Centerm, Burrard Inlet

The Same Old Scenery

Mountains, blue skies, calm waters, several million dollars worth of boats tied to the dock. 

What more could anyone ask for?

Bowler Hat

CRAB Park on a sunny September afternoon.

Rush Hour ...

… at Canada Place.

Vancouver doesn't seem to have more than two ships a day in recent years.

But they leave town at the same time. 

'Time and tide' and all that.

Walking The Dock

A crew member at the Vancouver Harbour Flight Centre.

Gone Fishing

I'm putting two and two together, but between the empty bins and absent boats …...

Cliffhanger

In our last episode …. yada, yada, yada …

What's happening here is, undersea divers are installing a state-of-the-art system, SEAFLEX,

to attach the floats of the new seaplane dock to the seabed.

The diver surfacing here is a woman. 

Vancouver Trade and Convention Centre

Snow Capped Mountains ...

… with crane. 
 It would be natural to wonder what exactly is happening here.

Stay tuned. 
Don't touch that dial!
Same time, same station … 

Gentle Fog

It's that time of the year, early morning fog is quite common.

I didn't even notice the cranes until I downloaded the images and by then it was too late to do anything about it.

Turbo Single Otter

The de Havilland Otters and Beavers make great subjects.

Access to them in Burrard Inlet is limited to one good vantage point.

Deadman Island

There were 3 fuel barges out here for decades. I seem to recall one went up like a Roman Candle. I don't remember why the other one was removed.

Deadman's Island is a naval training facility

Inspiratioinal

What could possibly be more inspiring than container cranes at sunset?
