About this image:
Seal coming up for air
This harbor seal was swimming around checking things out. He
decided to come up for a breath of fresh air and
effortlessly slipped back into the depths of the water and
was gone from sight. |

About this image:
BC Ferries, Queen of Vancouver
This is one of the "Queen" class ferries operated by BC
Ferries. It runs on a service between Vancouver and Swartz
Bay (Victoria). Not quite as luxurious as a cruise ship,
probably not as relaxed and enjoyable as Mad Dog Voyager,
but it beats swimming across Haro Strait. |

About this image:
BC Ferries, Mayne Queen
This is one of the smaller BC Ferries offering service to
the outlying areas. Probably no hot lunch service like the
Queen of Vancouver, but the vending machine is probably
operational the entire trip. |

About this image:
US Navy Float Plane
This US Navy float plane is located in Garden Bay near
Pender Harbor on the BC mainland coast. It doesn't look to
be in service, but this retired US Navy float plane looks
like it has seen a few years of use and appears to be in the
process of being restored by the owner. |

About this image:
Approximately 100+ Pacific White-sided Dolphins were
following us
A Pacific White-sided Dolphin escort
Once the preliminaries were out of the way and we were
provisioned for the trip North, we were suddenly surrounded
and overtaken by a pod of Pacific White-sided Dolphins. We
estimate that there were at least, and possibly more than,
100 of these sleak and beautiful creatures. These incredible
creatures hung around and swam along with us for about 10 -
15 minutes darting all over the place, shooting out of the
water beside us and then behind us and suddenly zipping
underneath to the other side again. A number of these
playful dolphins headed up to the bow and were riding our
bow wave.

White-sided Dolphins and Mad Dog Voyager (Look for video

The Pacific White-sided Dolphin escort moves on
After spending 10 - 15 minutes playing in the waters
around us and providing some wonderful entertainment,
the call to move on came in. With incredible bursts of
speed, these graceful creatures sped away until they
were no longer in our sight. We were left with an
emotional high and a wonderful feeling to have been
travelling along for a short time within and as a part
of this pod of Dolphins. |
