Sliding across the ocean to Vancouver Island
Within a few minutes there was a sunrise, a rainbow and a heavy shower. Spring on the west coast.
The Quarry
Interesting walk—in a very different landscape—around ‘The Quarry” near Cobble Hill and Shawinigan Lake. It’s an easy detour when travelling from Salt Spring Island to Victoria (via Vesuvius-Crofton ferry).
Around the World
Bean Around the World on Fisgard Street in Victoria
Apparently photo worthy.
We grabbed a quick bite here.
Going and Coming Back
Two for the price of one today. The photo above is from the Long Harbour ferry on the pyjama boat, no-stop-run looking towards Prevost Island and the soon-to-rise sun. A crisp, clear and stunning morning. Enjoyed outside by one crew member (anchor watch) and myself. And possibly the folks sipping their lattes inside the boat. We were heading to Vancouver. (Tsawwassen terminal).
The photo below is taken coming back aboard the Coastal Celebration (to Victoria (Swartz Bay) well after the sun dropped behind us.
Spectacular last day of February. Apparently February in these parts was one the warmest on record.
Meanwhile according to CBC onTwitter,”Toronto has endured coldest February since mid-1930s. Temperature in city not above freezing for 36 days.”
Dangerous Cargo
On the BC Ferry pier at Crofton, heading back to Salt Spring Island
The big green Shamrock Fuels truck is coming off the ferry, having taken an earlier dangerous cargo ride over to Salt Spring.
The camera’s shutter speed was not fast enough to stop the motion of truck in the foreground, hence a blur that hints at the feeling you get as the pier shakes a bit as tons of truck parts noisily accelerate by a couple of feet away.
Meanwhile, looking back through the side mirror of my wee truck, we see someone paying at the toll booth. And there’s Rick of noofoto fame bringing his own kind of dangerous cargo back to Salt Spring (in his school bus) from a skating trip on Vancouver Island.
