The Beach is Getting Repaired!

 I continued along the waterfront past the museum and on to the two tiny beaches.  Turned out it was an active day in the outer harbour, with a class of kayakers returning to port and several fishermen.  And they were finally repairing Fred Raper Park! 

The kayaker was moving right along, out past the breakwall and into Georgian Bay.

But there were other boats too, like this big motor launch.

And this class of kayakers with an instruction boat nearby and another boat on the horizon.

And a trio of lazy fishermen.

There were fishermen onshore too.

But when I got nearly to Fred Raper Park my way was blocked by these construction vehicles.  I hope this means they have cleaned up the little park area that was damaged so badly in last fall's storms, though I can't see it from here.

You can see some places where they've placed small rocks to fill in damaged spots.

Heading home I was surprised to find the tourist booth in the Big Apple open.  This young lady was happy to pose for a picture.

And on the sidewalk a Black Lives Matter stencil, though I haven't heard of any local protests.  The focus here has been on Owen Sound and its annual Emancipation picnic.  I think our Canadian focus should be on indigenous people who we have treated very badly as much as the black community.
