Foul Barrier
This barrier is at the end of Foul Bay Road, which overlooks what was once called Foul Bay.
A few decades ago, property owners on the bay, not appreciating that Foul referred to the bay being full of, or foul with, rocks campaigned for a name change.
Which eventually happened, and now it is called Gonzales Bay for a Spanish explorer who would have understood the meaning of foul.

It’s always interesting to see the context (second shot), and I love the name story.

It’s kind of bizarre sometimes what will motivate people into some kind of action. In this case I find it a bit offensive, since foul has a perfectly good nautical definition and to have that wiped off the landscape seems wrong. There is however another Foul Bay on San Juan Island which I am fond of, so that can be a consolation.
