End of Summer

Weeks go by and sunken boats are still there, here from the walkway in front of Gramma's looking towards the bluffs.

The year is moving along and soon the day float will be moved from the Government Wharf area, boats will be stowed and wrapped and Gibsons will become a much quieter place for three months. It will be our duty to ensure alcohol is saved for the winter months and consumed in orderly fashion.

View from Marine Drive

The Navy were out doing some of that maneuvering thing around Howe Sound this morning.

Zigzagging around, probably out collecting their crab traps...

Marine Drive Construction

Down on the road into Gibsons Landing, the work has started once more in clearing all the old waterfront houses.

Wakefield, the established building company is hard at work creating houses for the wealthy.

Stalker

Yesterday at Reed Road we felt that we were being watched from the bushes...

More plants for Autumn

The leaves are falling and the weather is turning wet as usual, so it's planting season once again, a trip to Quality farms and the B&K resulted in some seasonal bargains.

They sit in the holding area awaiting their destination.

September Paddle

Another morning on the water and the weather appears to be changing, yet our Friday paddle was calm and relaxing as usual.

I took this photo from the “driver's seat” a trio of lovely young ladies who put up with the old bloke at the back on our trips around the sound.
