🌊 Floating Sauna in Kits… seriously?
So now they want to put a floating sauna barge near the Vancouver Maritime Museum.
Hot tubs. On a barge.
In a marina full of old wooden boats.
Okay. 😐
Look—I get it.
Saunas are great. Cold plunges, community, wellness… all of that. 🧖♀️🌊
But this?
This feels like a joke.
One local said it better than anyone:
“I'm Norwegian, I believe in the health benefits of saunas and cold plunging very deeply. But this solution here is not about health and it's not about revitalization.”
“To have one of the most beautiful settings in the world essentially, and then putting a steel wall in front of it… it’s one of the most curious decisions I’ve heard in my lifetime.”
And honestly…
That’s exactly it.
Because people who live here aren’t just thinking about “wellness experiences.”
They’re thinking:
🌬️ wind
🌊 rising water
🚢 what happens when something that size breaks loose
And we already know that happens.
Not “maybe.”
Not “unlikely.”
Happens.
Those boats there? 🪵
They’re not replaceable.
They’re history.
So the real question isn’t:
“Do we want a sauna?”
It’s:
👉 Why here?
👉 Why risk it?
👉 Why do this again?
Because putting a giant barge in a tight, historic harbour…
and hoping nothing goes wrong…
isn’t wellness.
It’s denial. 😐
