South Facing low bank Oceanfront Home on Salt Spring Island

Another Saturday, another Salt Spring Island home. I was asked to capture two exterior images of this home for insurance purposes. As sometimes happens, one thing led to several other things; but that’s another story.

This home is close to the village of Ganges. It’s near the end of a quiet paved road. It’s private. It faces south-east through west for all day light with a big sky view. And the view includes a long look towards Sansum Narrows near Maple Bay. It’s low bank oceanfront with a boat launch. As you can see there’s not a leaf out of place. The inside is filled with beautiful new and reclaimed wood. There’s a heated two car garage to the right and a fenced garden/orchard to the left.

Walker Rock is a used as a rounding mark in one of Salt Spring Sailing Club’s races. As such it plays a part in many long tales, and some not so long. As I recall, in some high tides, a sailboat can round the mark tightly. If you’re not going to attempt this be sure to sail well past the western end as the rock is a fairly long one… And then there’s the time Jim were in a ‘bit of a blow’, approaching the rock and weren’t sure we could actually  get the spinnaker down, so we…
