The liveaboards are not the issue. Most of these boats are essentially abandoned. They are not seaworthy, do not show lights and are not manned. They are derelicts. They are a hazard to navigation and are taking up space that would be used by cruisers. Many of B.C.'s best anchorages are becoming dominated by junk and there is little room for the average cruiser to anchor. There is a green multihull moored in Silva Bay that has not moved for 10 years! This, and many others, have got to be removed from our waters by some means. I am not a lawyer but am sure there exists some regulations, which are not being enforced, to have this junk removed from our water.
