Another beached sailboat, this time on Kits Beach. If running aground wasn't enough of an indignity, the boat has been covered in Graffiti suggesting it's been…

Afternoon in Yaletown

Christine and I took advantage of the sunny post-snow afternoon last Sunday and headed down to Yaletown for some lunch and a walk. Overall, a good outing with…

Bayswater
