Happy Tuesday!
Paul den Ouden submitted today’s featured image, of our local Coast Guard lifeboat, Cape Caution, which he took from the seawalk below Massett Street on January 20 as the vessel was returning from the upper reaches of the Sechelt Inlet. She was clipping along at just under 25 knots, heading back to the south harbour in Westview.
