SaltSpring Air and Harbour Air kicked off ‘May Long’ by treating folks on Salt Spring Island to a ‘soirée on the docks’ complete with oysters, bbq, drinks, freebies and of course a tour of the recently rebranded Otter airplane. Excellent event from first-rate folks providing superior service.
On the docks:
It’s been over a year since I’ve been in a float plane; I almost forgot how much fun it is and how quickly you appear in downtown Vancouver!
This is Phil from Salt Spring Air flying ‘AOP’, one of the deHavilland Beavers that live on Salt Spring Island. We’ve just taken off and are rounding Nose Point on our way to the Vancouver Harbour Flight Center.
The hills and mountains look mysterious, but there’s not a lot to love about the wildfire smoke earlier this week.
This is a late morning colour photograph looking towards Active Pass; above the smoke it’s a clear blue sky (I’m told).
Here’s what this Salt Spring view normally looks like.

Stunning sunrise, snow, frost and an icy mist. People, dogs, cameras and baggage.
