Whistler Air C-FJBP and The Scholarship

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.

Leap Day

February 29, 2016

Leap Year Day

Every four years our calendar has a leap year because the Earth orbits the Sun in 365.242 days. 2016 is a leap year with 366 days so today—February 29th—is a leap day. But wait there’s more as that doesn’t add up:

Just adding a day doesn’t quite tweak the calendar; it’s still off by a few minutes. So, “leap years occur in years divisible by four, except for those divisible by 100 and not divisible by 400. Confusing enough for you? In effect, that means that 97 out of every 400 years are leap years, including the century years 1600 and 2000 but NOT 1700, 1800 and 1900.”*

The image above is from a grade twelve student portrait set I did with Aina.**

Blue Sky with Great Clouds

Rain weary Salt Springers stumbled around in awe today as the sky turned a stunning blue and the clouds put on a shapeshifting demonstration all afternoon.
