Working on Okanagan Lake91裸聊视频檚 waterfront for the past three decades, Greg Garward has never seen conditions this bad.

He and partner George Bishop have operated out of the Pier Water Sports building on the shoreline beside the Lakeside Resort for the last 20 years and are afraid they may even lose the structure.

91裸聊视频淭hat building, because it91裸聊视频檚 a riparian area, is just sitting on wood blocks on the sand, it doesn91裸聊视频檛 have a foundation or anything,91裸聊视频� said Garward. 91裸聊视频淚f the water gets high enough it will just roll underneath the building and the wave action will take the sand out and the building will fall into the water.

91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 not that we haven91裸聊视频檛 had storms in the past but it91裸聊视频檚 just the high water makes it brutal. We91裸聊视频檙e not going to open because we don91裸聊视频檛 have any shoreline.91裸聊视频�

All the rental watercraft including Sea-Doos, kayaks, power boats, parasailing boat and the 42-foot party boat have since been taken off the water.

Activities for the recent Victoria Day long weekend, which is usually one of the busiest at the start of the season for the company, were cancelled before hand.

Garward pointed to the potential for damages and the dangers associated with the large amount of debris in the lake and having customers creating wake and making conditions worse for lakefront home owners as the reasons why.

91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频檝e seen it before you have a family go out there and hit a log and now they have to pay $3,000 to fix a motor,91裸聊视频� said Garward. 91裸聊视频淵ou can see the dad91裸聊视频檚 upset, the mom91裸聊视频檚 upset, it91裸聊视频檚 just not worth it. It91裸聊视频檚 a sad thing to see a family come from Vancouver to have a good time and instead they91裸聊视频檝e got a huge bill and the holiday91裸聊视频檚 ruined.91裸聊视频�

Garward added the erosion of the shoreline has been happening for years and because it is riparian, government regulations prevent some work from being done.

91裸聊视频淪omething91裸聊视频檚 got to give, they91裸聊视频檙e going to have to let us put in some rock and replace the sand,91裸聊视频� said Garward, who once had to pay $3,000 for a riparian survey after removing some wood without approval. 91裸聊视频淚 was talking to (Penticton mayor) Andrew Jakubeit the other day and he said what91裸聊视频檚 the difference whether the waves stir up the sand or a bulldozer stirs up the sand.

91裸聊视频淏asically our beach has gotten smaller and smaller and smaller until now we don91裸聊视频檛 have any beach.91裸聊视频�

Bishop and Garward are currently weighing their options for opening, including moving the watercraft to the marina and working out of a kiosk.

91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 just hard to say right now and they expect the water to keep rising to mid June,91裸聊视频� he said. 91裸聊视频淲e91裸聊视频檙e just going to have to wait and see.91裸聊视频�
