Whistler Air and The Scholarship

6:45 a.m.
A Whistler Air Beaver seaplane; (part of, and sporting Harbour Air colours and operating a Salt Spring Air route…I think I’ve got that right) has been prepped by the dockhands and is ready for the first passengers of the day. In the background, the School District 64 (Gulf Islands) water taxi Scholarship is heading for Sturdies Bay on Galiano and Miners Bay on Mayne Island to pick up students and bring them back to Salt Spring Island for the day.

Trincomali Channel

Trincomali Channel, February Morning

One Log in the Current

During the last couple of weeks on Salt Spring, most early mornings have seen only brief breaks in the cloud. This particular morning was quite dull at dawn. So I had lots of time to watch the log in the photo above pass by under Fernwood pier. The tide and currents were surprisingly strong and the path the log took was also unusual. This would have been great intel in my sailboat racing days!

Heading home along Walker Hook Road (photo free), I noticed the sky opening up a bit so I stopped the truck and scurried down to the shoreline. This was taken from the Maliview area towards Active Pass.

Red Cedar on the Beach

Red Cedar on the Beach

This long exposure, before the sun was up, shows the bottom (roots) of a Western Red Cedar. The tree has been washed up on the beach in the Fernwood area for years. The shell decorations change with the artists who stroll along the beach.
