Right on schedule, in early January the sun rises straight out Ganges Harbour—about 122 degrees Southeast. And does so at a very civilized time around 8 a.m. This makes for lots of gawking and traffic congestion (30 cars/hr instead of 10) on Upper Ganges Road.
Or on Salt Spring. And that’s not the Pacific. Nope, it’s about a 7500 km drive from Ganges.
Next stop Ireland. Do you know where this is?
(In the dark of a Salt Spring winter with our dollar down for the count, Salt Springers get to thinking about travel…in Canada. This is a good spot!)
5:00 p.m.
Early darkness, a frost-covered float, clouds and fog over the lake.
Lovely and calm. Anyone fancy a swim?
8:15 a.m. Ganges
Earlier it looked like we were in for a dull morning, but the clouds moved southward, the sun rose straight down the harbour and illuminated a golden layer of sea fog.
Seahorse once again plays a role.
