A Day of Wheelchair Basketball
2:42 pm GISS Gym
The 600+ students at Gulf Islands Secondary had a chance to experience wheelchair basketball. There were enough chairs for four teams at a time (2 games, cross-court). From what I saw, it was a very big hit!
In the photo above, the green team had three participants from a boys’ school team. They figured out how to squash their opponents with a fast-break strategy…and seemed somehow comfortable shooting quickly from a sitting position.
Racing with the Gulls
Near Prevost Island.
Sailing is a popular, year-round pastime on Salt Spring Island.
Quick, Fill Up!
Before the price goes up again.
For a while there, the local CO-OP gas station was having a hard time keeping up with the rocketing price increases on Vancouver Island.
They’ve pretty much got the heck of it now.
Some years back Salt Spring Island was known for having the highest gas prices in Canada.
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.
