Preparing to cast off
This vessel shuttles people from the head of the harbour (Saltspring Marina, Hastings House, Harbour House, Harbour’s End Marine, Moby’s Pub, etc.) to the dock downtown near the float planes, Coast Guard, and downtown shopping.

Underway and in no hurry. This ain’t the mainland you know.

Some very obliging patron allowed me to take this photo of the latté she was about to enjoy on the Salt Spring Coffee patio.
It’s odd, isn’t it that Salt Spring Coffee no longer lives on Salt Spring Island.

The World‘s been visiting Salt Spring Island the last couple of days. Safely anchored last night, south of the Sister’s Islands (with Prevost Island in the near foreground), the ship slipped away at midnight to continue her 2012 voyage. An interesting, if extraordinarily expensive concept.
The World is 194 m x 28 m.

The Milau Bulker is a box-shaped log bulk carrier, built in 2012 and caries the Singapore flag. She’s 586 feet long with a 100 foot beam. It seems she came to Crofton from Shanghai and is now headed for Taicang, China.
I saw her loading while travelling on the Howe Sound Queen from Vesuvius on Salt Spring Island to Crofton on Vancouver Island.
