Did you know there were scenes like this on Salt Spring 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.

Seahorse again. Another spectacular sunrise.
—Spoiled on Salt Spring

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.

Last Friday saw the first frost of the season at the marinas and docks in Ganges. And the beginnings of a low layer of fog (caused by the difference between sea and air temperatures) over the water. For the next month or so, the sun rises straight into Ganges harbour making early winter mornings very special.
