We had fun today. Thadene and Dave had to go to Steveston so we met them there for lunch. It is a very old fishing community on the outskirts of Richmond. It was largely populated by Japanese in the early 1900's and a thriving fishing industry until WWII when they were all interned inland during the war, having their boats and houses seized. A black mark in Canadian history, which had some redress a few years ago but definitely not enough. Today it is a very pleasant community centered around the waterfront where we lunched overlooking the dock and fleet. Fresh fish is sold off the boats - salmon, ling cod, rock fish and tuna today. There was a huge swan swimming by the wharf.
