A little snow changes everything. The view from a Salt Spring mountain to the Maple Bay area on Vancouver Island

Mount Baker and the North Cascade range (about 100 km away) are rarely seen from Salt Spring Island in November. We may not see this view again for some time. Zip up that GoreTex jacket.

6:55 am on the ‘Pyjama Boat’
Mayne Island Terminal in the distance as we head toward Active Pass and Tswwassen on the mainland, aboard the Queen of Nanaimo. The is the Saturday ‘early boat’ AKA the ‘Pyjama Boat’. Salt Springers take this sailing as it makes no stops on it’s way to the Vancouver area; sometimes saves a couple of hours.

I believe we’re looking at, from foreground to background: South Pender Island (Pender Bluffs and the entrance to Bedwell Harbour), Saturna Island, Bellingham area in Washington State and Mount Baker.
