Not ever having been a boat person I am amazed at how many different waterborne conveyances there are in use in the Inner Harbour. Some such as tugboats, barges and fishing boats, etc. are obviously functionally designed. Others such as large sailboats and motor yachts are designed for comfort and pleasure. Some are for specific purposes such as the dragon boats that race here yearly. Others seem to be only for the purposes of group exercise, such as those pictured above. This group of recreational paddlers were photographed offshore of the Westsong Walkway last fall.

You're not a boat person? Living on Vancouver Island? That's a surprise! Sailing's a blast!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photograph!
ReplyDeleteThey look like shells, the lithe boats that a crew team propels through the water by tightly coordinated rowing.
