    Sooke public launch now ticketing long truck/trailers

    Just an FYI that Robbins parking is ticketing you if your truck and trailer hangs out past the yellow line at the Sooke public launch. I found out the hard way by not noticing the new signs on Saturday morning. It sucks because when I arrived the top longest spots were taken up by cars from...
