A walk down to Truffles and a detour up Abbs and Winn yesterday, we noticed a plume of smoke in lower Gibsons, today, we found out that the Coles Marine Ways is no more, fire destroyed the heritage building along with a local hostel, Wynken Blynken Nod.

Coles Marine Ways

A photo taken in March this year, Coles Marine Ways on Marine drive in Gibsons. It was an old boat and diesel repair shop, a historic building on the waterfront.

Starfish on steroids

A sunflower starfish with fifteen "legs" in Lund harbour, he wasn't alone either. The starfish was approximately twenty inches across, probably safe from the hungry seagulls...

Nice Buns

The science experiments continue, same bread recipe as before but divided into eight lumps, we tried various "finishes" namely, nothing, water, milk and olive oil and it appears that it makes little difference to the end product. Cooking time was slightly less at around the 20 minute mark.

Rest Stop

And to debunk a myth, sometimes hummingbirds land and take a break.

HummingBirds

We arrived at the ferry terminal area and wondered what the buzzing noise was, it turned out that thirty or more hummingbirds were feeding, like a busy airport, the feeders were constantly in the flight pattern.

We stood, a few feet away and watched, amazed, as they all came, three to five at a time, to guzzle some sugar water.
