It's really sad when stuff like this happens. A company takes over a marina (apparently with the sole purpose to try and rezone it to build water-front condos), they let it go to such disrepair that boaters complain to the district about safety issues, the district closes off access to the marina - the power is turned off - boat batteries go flat - automatic bilge pumps stop working - boaters can't access their boats to pump out water - you can imagine the rest... a total mess (read the full story below). The Fisherman's Cove Marine is a small marina right next to the West Vancouver Yacht Club. http://www.nsnews.com//derelict-dock-dispute-leaves-west-v

OUCH!! It's amazing there was no hull damage.

So this is what Vancouver has been missing the last 20 years?
