Ocean and Clouds -- the ride back home

I spent a week in Vancouver for the Congress Meetings (Canadian Law and Society Association, and the Canadian Association of Law Teachers).   Both meetings were great.  

What really grabbed me on the last day was the sky.  It was a gorgeous blue, but with huge puffy white clouds on the horizon.  I was hoping that the amazing sky would hold up for the ferry ride home.   My expectations were met and exceeded.   The trip home was just stunning.  Here is my photo essay.
Loaded up and waiting at the dock.  Other ships already moving.

Clouds on the horizon on the land side of the ship

I love the contrast in colours between sea, land, clouds and sky

Passing the half way mark towards home
And then the clouds began getting darker


Loving the sparkle on the water
Darker skies, but still glorious.

Island Life - The Trip to Vancouver

the view from the Pacific Buffet
The thing about living on an island, is that leaving is not so easy:  it is a choice of flights, or ferries.   And so, the ferry it was, for a trip over to Vancouver for a week of conference going at the 2019 Congress.

Going through Active Pass on the ferry just NEVER gets old.
Another ferry approaching


The breeze up on the deck is glorious

three hills, back to back
