@chris The very front position is less fun if you were previously that last person left at the terminal on the previous sailing!

aaaand... already on my way back across the Salish Sea. Just saw the splash from some orca (according to the Captain who let everyone know!) along the shore of Bowen Island, but nothing more

I saw the spray from a humpback

The Chief Steward just came over the intercoms:
"A pair of reading glasses has been found.
Please check your purses.
Check your eyes?
Can you see? Or not?
Please come by if you need your glasses."

the whole ferry laughed.

@chris I'm so glad this Island is now my home, too. When I came to scout it out, the natural habitat felt like I belonged. I have a theory that something in my bones recognizes the rocky shore, moss, ocean and mist from the places my ancestors left behind. Maybe a bit of fantasy on my part, (maybe epigenetics?). But it feels right, can always soothe my soul by the oceanside. (Also, grateful that the Snuneymuxw people still welcome settlers to learn from, care for, protect and enjoy the Land.)

@LauraleeDukeshire i couldn't agree more!
