Recordist's notes
Western tip of Tommy Thompson Park. Zoom H4n with standard foam wind cover. Begins with sound of what appeared to be a dredging boat or something similar, leaving a harbour area off to the right. Later, a pleasure cruiser comes in from the left, towards the harbour. Eventually, wakes from the two boats can be heard breaking on the shore.
