Amazed that it didn't rain solid for days as the forecast seemed to indicate, we went for a late afternoon walk to Ogden Point this past Wednesday. It wasn't as cold out as it looks.
Mid October last year this freighter 'Ocean Lady' (or the MV Easwary - whichever name it goes by) showed up in Victoria with 76 Sri Lankan Tamils smuggled on board. The newspaper reported then that moorage costs were $550 per day. Well, nearly $70,000 later, the ship is still sitting there. I never heard what happened to the people on board but the ship will probably have to go by the time the cruise ship season starts.
