Summer in Ganges Harbour

Summer in Ganges Harbour
It’s like this in Ganges Harbour during the summer.

Here’s the story of what’s happened so far in this shot:

1. The Gulf Islands Water Taxi Scholarship (large aluminum boat; middle right) attempting to return to it’s dock space stopped to wait for the large sailboat to slowly complete it’s turn and leave (there was no room for the sailboat to tie up).

2. An inflatable dinghy cuts right across Scholarship’s bow, causing Scholarship to stop and reverse. (the dinghy will soon discover the dinghy dock is full)

3. A small runabout, seeing Scholarship stopped in the middle of the entrance decides to barge through too, pretty much in front of the sailboat now trying to escape the area.

There’s a Theme

Ferry Traffic from Long Harbour going downtown

Car traffic attempts to get to Ganges from the north while two optimistic travellers await the bus. Meanwhile bikers prepare for a Salt Spring ascent.

Parking in Ganges

The famously clogged parking lot that has a road through its middle.

Working on the sink hole

There’s the bus that the folks in the top photo were waiting for. And more traffic—this time trying to get into Ganges from the south. Meanwhile workers prod the village sink hole for the lost contractor who paints the faded lines on Salt Spring’s roads.

 

 

Full on Friday

Full in Ganges

Friday afternoon—or most any afternoon in the summer—looks like this in downtown Ganges. The main parking area in the centre of town. And a road runs through it. Just for giggles.

Vistor’s beware, some locals have a favourite spot in this area or around the town outskirts where they like to park year ’round and can get a wee bit growly when you get there first.
