Local paddlers are being asked to participate in a rally protesting the new marina for mega-yachts proposed for Vitoria's Inner Harbour. This project is a huge proposal that will drastically re-shape our harbour and curtail all most paddling acticites in the harbour.Here's the plan via an email for Ocean River:
When: Saturday March 7th 2009, 3:00 PM. Please be sure to meet at the site well before starting time.If you can't be there in your boat, an on-land rally will be taking place at the same time on shore.
Where: We will meet on the water at the proposed Community Marine Concepts Ltd Mega Yacht Marina Location - directly in front of the Songhees Condominiums (see map in the attached PDF file).
Why: To demonstrate the paddling community's profound concern regarding Community Marine Concepts Ltd's Marina proposal, and to show our support for access to shared public waterways - including our Harbour!
Who: Everyone who loves getting on the water in human powered vessels - canoeists (marathon, tripping, voyageur), kayakers, stand-up board paddlers, OC6, OC2, OC1 paddlers, dragon boaters, rowers, surf ski paddlers... All are welcome and encouraged to come paddle with us!
