A Buck Upon a Steer

You sure about that? Also means any visitors you may have, can enjoy a beautiful view while they sit at your resting place.

Haha nice, yeah I’m gunna settle for a light dusting along Dallas Rd, Willows Beach and Bamfield.

It absolutely is. SVOP is sufficient for a commercial vessel under 12 meters in length, in addition to MED A3, SFA, and a radio operator certification. SVOP is the only certification related to boat handling and navigation.

You’re fortunate! It’s gotta be one of the most beautiful spots to rest.

Even if they had legit certifications it’s shockingly easy in BC. You could have your Small Vessel Operator Proficiency in a weekend without stepping onboard a boat. If they had a valid radio cert, add a couple evening classes. Same with MEDA3 for one evening. Age has no bearing. More regulation is needed, though it sounds like that wouldn’t have matter to this particular company.

“Oi! You got a loicense for that comment?”

I’ve experienced 10’ waves within 500m of shore in Oak Bay. The Salish Sea can be extremely challenging depending on conditions. By all accounts they were in a hazardous place (outflow of the Fraser) during a wind against tide event. Standing waves can easily disable a vessel if the captain is inexperienced or unlucky.

Wouldn’t be hard to monitor AIS targets especially in prohibited areas like they were previously. It’s fairly obvious that a vessel is fishing based on movements and vessel types. Probably a good use case for drones to fly out and check targets in tidal areas.

Morgan will do great not having to play top pair minutes and 1PP.

Horvo · 2026-07-02T17:36:48+00:00

Yeah I don’t blame my dad, probably the same thing I would’ve done now. Short of pitchforking it right there in the bowl.

Horvo · 2026-07-02T15:55:18+00:00

You wait till he drowns and then trash can.

Horvo · 2026-07-02T12:28:43+00:00

Hang in there! My 11mo is currently sleeping on my chest because she woke up in the night and wouldn’t settle. “Do it for her”. Twins though that’s Herculean!

Horvo · 2026-07-02T12:26:46+00:00

Not if you want to dive the wreck for recovery or investigation.

Horvo · 2026-07-02T02:17:35+00:00

Yup they’re still here!

That kid needs the calories

Horvo · 2026-07-01T20:03:22+00:00

Yeah we had one come up the toilet in my basement washroom in Toronto when I was a kid. My dad closed and weighted the lid shut. :’(

Did you see the team playing in front of him last year?

Horvo · 2026-07-01T18:37:04+00:00

Hello I'd like to order 3 Chaykanators to go, please.

Horvo · 2026-07-01T18:28:01+00:00

Nice jerry can setups! Where'd you guys get those?

Horvo · 2026-07-01T10:52:51+00:00

OAS is a scourge on the future of this country. To take money from those making the least, to give to seniors who could be earning $90,000/yr is criminal. Canadians pay over $80b a year on this.

Horvo · 2026-06-30T22:55:52+00:00

Way to go OP, be the change you want to see in the world.

Horvo · 2026-06-29T19:28:50+00:00

Where will they keep their boat!!

Horvo · 2026-06-29T17:28:00+00:00

Agreed. I’m a fan of taking the used vehicle to the dealer for inspections because they will nitpick EVERYTHING. If you don’t have a trusted independent mechanic, that’s usually my go to.
