Harbour Air and Salt Spring Air are now joined at the hip. Here, the first flight of the day out of Ganges is getting ready to taxi for take-off and a sunrise flight to Vancouver. The plane says Harbour Air, but the plane handler’s jacket says SaltSpringAir.
11:58 a.m. At Catalyst’s Crofton Mill
There’s plenty of ‘off-island’ travel during the pre-holiday season to and from Salt Spring Island. So Salt Springer’s get to spend ample time at BC Ferry terminals taking in the nearby sights. Two ships were loading while I was waiting in line, the Star Kirkenes, registered in Bergen, Norway and the Yunnan, registered in Hong Kong. It’s easy to look these up on the Internet to find out information about the vessels and to track their current locations.
10:44 a.m. from Booth Canal
That’s Vancouver Island as seen from the Booth Canal bridge. And that white stuff, for those at sea level, is SNOW.
And below is a bonus (iPhone) photo from someone who was up exploring the backroads late Saturday in that area…
What a difference a day makes. Sunny yesterday, but yet another in a long series of wind/rain storms today.
Yesterday afternoon, a gull glides by. Haven’t seen a gull streak by this afternoon. Though it could be doing 120 k/hr+ downwind…
Electricity is somehow still on…for now.
