I waited for this otter to get close (very close); he didn’t seem to know I was there. For him though, the sound of the camera shutter was like a starting gun!
Round Salt Spring 2015 at Southey Point
1:35 pm Round Saltspring Island Sailing racers approach Southey Point. (curiously positioned at the north end of the Island)
The event has attracted about 100 boats for many years. The course is about 42 miles around Salt Spring Island (for a crow); sailboats of course go much farther than that depending on wind direction, wind strength and even the tides and currents.
This year, the super-fast catamaran Dragonfly flashed across the finish line at 6:14 pm. An hour or so later many of the faster boats were also back for dinner on the docks.
Life is Good!
For those of you not currently living on, or visiting Salt Spring Island, we’ve been having summer-like weather lately. So summer-like that just around the corner from this scene were some naked human seals— jumping into the icy ocean water and splashing about.
