This is the aftermath from yesterday’s shot taken a few days later.
The barge was loaded with scrap metal on its way for recycling on the mainland.
The scrap had to be removed to re-float the barge and get it to a shipyard for repairs.
Technically a wrecked barge, which is probably not a kind of ship.
A couple of barges broke loose from their tow a month or so ago.
They grounded on the Victoria shoreline in front of Beacon Hill park.
This one was the more difficult to remove, which took days.
Progress was interrupted by poor conditions, as you can see.
Fortunately they did not leave much of a mess behind.
This is Gráinne.
She is one of many Hitty dolls that live in my house and was carved (and dressed) by my very talented partner.
Gráinne is named for an Elizabethan pirate, and has piratical leanings of her own – you can find out more here and see her adventures here.
She came on our trip to Mayne Island a few months ago, and managed to slip in front of my camera.
Anyone that hangs around this blog will understand that from my perspective this guy must be worshipping the storm drain.
The storm, and the waves, and the power of nature are just coincidental.

This is one of my early blog photos, first posted in October 2011.
This continues a series where bring forward a photo or two from earlier posts that have rarely been seen by most of my viewers.
This was in a post unimaginatively titled Painted Stair Edges.
