Yesterday I finally noticed an aging sign outside Ganges Marina. It seems to indicate—given the current rate of progress—that the future is still a long way off.

The Beach Restaurant, Gastronomic Alley, Ganges on a recent showery day.
No muscle shirts or string bikinis at the Beach this day. Just wet sand in the parking lot.

2:30 pm Tuesday
Seen at the Salt Spring Tuesday Farmer’s Market. A ‘PANG!’ (People Against Northern Gateway) shirt.
And with a big crowd like this, there bound to be at least one:


August long weekend ferry overload
Mystery:
With little to do—squashed onto the Swartz Bay to Fulford ferry—I decided to wander around to see what I could see. Had a good talk with a guy about the Toyo tires on his Tacoma, something I need on mine soonish. Then I noticed some feet sticking out of a white car (perhaps a GM of some type) reading a book.
Wait; the feet weren’t reading the book and neither was the car. Someone with green rolled up pants was reading the book with her feet sticking out the window. I headed down to the car deck to see if there might be an interesting photo. Note the position of the green ‘pressure washing’ truck.

Eight minutes later (On the way I stopped to take a funny photo of two men sleeping sitting up in their car, one with a seat belt across his face. I decided not to show you that photo). Anyway, no long distracted, I went searching for the feet. Found them. And now with a table saw jammed into the trunk and ‘secured’ with a skipping rope, yellow polly rope and some heavy duty fishing line. So, good photo I thought.
But when I loaded the images onto my computer I noticed the car was no longer beside the green truck but parked behind it, the white car was now a silver VW and the feet…well the feet look exactly the same. 

It seems Ganges is polite but dangerous.
