We really love taking the skytrain out to New West as you see great views of Greater Vancouver and how it has changed. Then lunch at the Paddlewheeler Pub by the Fraser River. We saw this boat and its owner who is obviously embroiled in some kind of battle. It does seem like this 100 year old fish boat should be preserved. New West is another world in that the pubs still have outdoor smoking areas. We made sure we were well away from this area this time round.

Having a chat with the owner.
Then to the Salvation Army Thrift shop where Jim got a pair of jeans he liked for around $11.
Jim went for an ocean swim when we got home but I'm waiting until things warm up just a bit. Spent the rest of the day and evening just sitting on the balcony in the sunshine, enjoying the view, and watching the world go by. Nice to get the sun back again.
