Dredge

Canoeists paddle past a dredge deepening the Inner Harbour off the Songhees Walkway. This is the first stage in the building of a new marina that in addition to berths for 29 super-yachts (65 to 100 feet), will also house a restaurant and a coffee house. Songhees Walkway strollers will not be blocked but future canoeists will need to paddle beneath the buildings to avoid other Inner Harbour water traffic. More details on the project can be found HERE.

Rowers

With so much water around, Victorians engage in practically every water sport including, of course, rowing. (Or is this paddling?) In the background of this photo is the Provincial Legislative Assembly Building. The low white building on the left is a tourist facility called Pacific Undersea Gardens, where you can take the kiddies down under the surface of the Inner Harbour. The tall multi-columned building to the right is another tourist attraction, the Royal London Wax Museum, and if you like wax museums, this will be right up your alley.
