Flug: In the photo labeled Porpoise, are those Dahl's Porpoises? They kind of look more like Orcas. I thought the same. Unless we can have a size-reference, I'm going to guess Dahls porpoises. The way the picture looks, they'd be mighty small for Orcas.

Seen from the Bowen Queen at 6:20pm on August 30th 2012. A lovely parade of ships. SOBC, tug, Q'Nanaimo and the tow. - I thought that the tow kinda looked like a ferry sailing towards the right, with how the crane is placed looking like a mast.

The Queen of Richmond certainly has some weird angles to her... it's odd how she doesn't reflect any light.

Scenes from on board the MV Island Sky in Jervis Inlet. - September 18, 2012. After we've left Earls Cove, we make the turn into the channel between Nelson Island and Captain Island. - The scene after we've made our turn: ================= ....one more thing: Just before we reach Saltery Bay, we have one of the most interesting features of any ferry route: - sailing under the hydro power lines, between the mainland and Nelson Island.

Compilation video of a bunch of clips shot by me of ferry wakes and waves. - As I discovered when sorting my various videos from recent years, I take lots of wake photos. I must like those scenes.

Ok, here is a 3 hour, 40 minute video of a Gulf Islands route-5 trip that I took, on November 10, 2012.
- sped-up 8-times, it's now a 28-minute quick tour of the area.
I had a lot of fun creating this one, and I think it will be pretty fun to watch. One of my favourite parts is the guy who's car won't start at Otter Bay, and who gets a battery-boost from BCF.

Here's a 50x speed version of my Route-5 day trip, from November 10, 2012.
3.75 hours compressed into 4.5 minutes. - a bit jerky at times, but some of it is a nice effect of speed-video.
I think that the earlier posted version (28 minutes) is nicer, but I also wanted to see what this super-fast version looked like.
