hour—with  deckhalr- and-
broadioom comfort for the
dozen passengers and two
dogs aboard. But that's only
one item in The Raft's
summer calendar.

‘On fine evenings and
weekends we often get some
friends together, with picnic
and barbecue -things, and
‘cruise along the shore to

laces like West Bay, Caul-
eld Cove, Lighthouse Park
or down to Ambleside,’’ said
Jamie. ‘‘Sometimes we'll

stop in on other friends along
the waterfront. In the next
week or two we're thinking

about taking her up to
Gambier.”’ .

There aren't even any
moorage problems. When
not in use, The Raft swings
proudly. at anchor just west of

undarave pier, firmly teth-
ered to a discarded engine
block on the sea bed. And
what next by way of
improvements, we asked?

IDEAS POP
“it’s funny, you know,”’
replied Jamie, ‘teach summ-
er it seems we've reached a
peak. Then, in early sprin
we start looking at The Ra
once more and ideas start

Hydrofoils, indeed! But
then once you've met this
enetgetic, idea-popping trio,
you know that hydrofoils it’s

probably going to be for | :

it past them ‘to convert the

motor-less wooden platform .
called Kon-Tiki—eat his

Bridge’s new deck

contractor to prefabricate the
87 decking slabs that will
cover the bridge’s centre
span.

During the second year the
prefabricated slabs will be
transported to the bridge,
installed and paved, The new
steel deck will be lighter than
the orlginal one and will
therefore allow the bridge to
stand up to a heavier coating
of pavement. ;

Lifting of the slabs from
barges in Burrard Inlet is
regarded as too difficult and
in not being recommended,
said Mr. Buckland.

The work timetable could
also be affected by seasonal
factors. Paving work should
preferably be done durin
the summer, Mr. Bucklan
explained, because the epoxy
asphalt surface needs warm
dry weather to cure to its
maximum strength,

Assuming a decision by
the highways department
before the end of this year,
the earllest date for the
completion of the Job would
therefore be the late summer
of 1976.

The Installation and pav-
ing of the new deck would be

Buckland felt, at this stage,
that a previously quoted
figure. of $14 million might
not be too wide of the mark --
but was ‘‘by no means cert
