The CGS Bartlett refuels at the neighbourhood Chevron station.
Not often you see a Coast Guard ship in Burrard Inlet since Stephen Harper decided that the busiest harbour in Canada was less deserving of a Coast Guard outpost than Selkirk, Manitoba, located some hundreds of miles from the ocean.
We’ve so far been incredibly fortunate in that there’s been only one notable incident resulting in a death in Vancouver’s waters that likely could have been prevented if the Coast Guard Station was still open in Kits.

So Long Koala Punk on Flickr.
Via Flickr:
No, he’s not going anywhere. Still doing just fine but, today it became pretty obvious he’s outgrown the moniker.
Koala Punk just isn’t the right moniker for a young man who can’t wait to get out of Kid’s Only Market to take a tour of his uncle’s university darkrooms. It’s most definitely not applicable to a kid who can spend an hour sitting on the seaside debating the merits of dip pens vs brush pens for inking his sketches. And, it’s certainly not appropriate when he goes and buys those pens to try out. With his own money.
We talked about it and settled on KP. He’s not quite ready to leave childhood completely behind it seems.

Great Day in the City on Flickr.

Not so much on the North Shore but, they’re pretty used to that by now!

Lincoln Premiere on Flickr.

The owner of this classic old boat was thoughtful enough to park it in front of a colour coordinated wall. If not for the shrubbery, I might not have even seen it. Huzzah!

The Shortest Month Gives Way on Flickr.
Via Flickr:
The days are getting longer, the sun is shining a little brighter when it does, people are wearing a layer or two fewer. Generally much rejoicing as we close out February and head into March.
For my part though, I’ll miss the long shadows the sun casts in the winter months, not to mention sunrise at a civilized time.
