Boats moored in False Creek a shame

Yearly, we have now loved anchoring in False Creek for a few nights whereas in Vancouver. With the vitality and surrounding structure, it was an unimaginable expertise till this yr. We had an anchoring allow and I believe we had been most likely the one ones. Greater than 50 per cent of boats confirmed no occupation. A number of boats had been rafted up with propane, fuel tanks and particles on their decks — an apparent hazard. That evening, we secured our dinghy on board and locked down the whole lot and left with the morning tide. We’ll by no means once more journey to False Creek. What a disgrace.
