Good practice and fun for the crew (who clearly know what they were doing) and a good show for the passengers.

Going and Coming Back
Two for the price of one today. The photo above is from the Long Harbour ferry on the pyjama boat, no-stop-run looking towards Prevost Island and the soon-to-rise sun.

(Tsawwassen terminal).
The photo below is taken coming back aboard the Coastal Celebration (to Victoria (Swartz Bay) well after the sun dropped behind us.
Spectacular last day of February. Apparently February in these parts was one the warmest on record.
