I drove by Lifetimer boatyard in Duncan on the weekend and the once bustling yard was virtually empty..not just recreational fishermen were impacted by the severe restrictions to ‘save the starving orcas’ but the whole support industry has just about disappeared and with it a way of life…frankly, I don’t buy the politically correct story, pods of orcas were never scared off or deterred from coursing right through the sport fishing fleet and the transeants come right into the harbours ,not in the least bothered by propeller noise
