Co-existence

There are some fairly amazing 'suburbs' in this city.  The majority of hoses are built of wood, so it should not be too surprising to discover that some of them have been built on pontoons which are rated to pontoon streets with pontoon shops.  Some are out from the centre of the city which means that you yacht can be moored at the back door, while others are fairly central like this.

The population is not exclusively human.  There are no stray dogs, but there are harbour seals.

A notice recommends that you should not feed the sea lions or sea otters as they are dangerous.  They didn't seem to present too much of a hazard as we watched them playing on nearby rocks in the twilight yesterday evening - but they were about 200 yards away.  Interesting place this.
