Passage Island straight ahead marks the entrance to Howe Sound.
In the distance, Vancouver Island a few of our fabled Gulf Island – they’re the lower ones (darker) on the horizon. That’s Gabriola to the right of Passage Island and Valdez on the left. The higher ridges in the distance are part of Vancouver Island. And to the far right of the frame you can see the tip of Bowen Island (Cowan’s Point).
It was a day for a light touch on the tiller – and a lot of patience. Lovely fall sky and still shorts weather in Howe Sound today. We didn’t go anywhere fast, but then again, what does it matter ?
That’s Fisherman’s Cove in West Vancouver in the foreground. A nice night for a dinner cruise up Howe Sound, I guess.
Record high temperatures for Southern British Columbia this September. We had a gentle southerly inflow in Howe Sound this afternoon. Most of the homeward bound sailboats were motoring back to Vancouver, but we had a lovely leisurely sail.
Howe Sound perfection.
