Victoria Bound

BC Ferries began in 1960 and is known as for "safety, spectacular scenery, and a proud maritime history".

Ferry Ride

Vancouver

The journey starts from the Tsawwassen terminal in Vancouver to Swartz Bay, Victoria. In the summer, the ferries run every hour. We travelled on an even hour (noon) boat which meant taking an older Queen ferry, without bells and whistles and with safety announcements nobody can understand. No matter. For only $11.95, I got to enjoy 1 1/2 hours of ocean air, and horizon, mountain and island vistas, all on the starboard sunny side of the vesssel!

Active Pass is the body of water we travelled through between Galiano Island and Mayne Isalnd. It was one of the most picturesque moments of the journey.

Apparently, a wide variety of wildlife such as seals and sea lions can be seen in the pass. I looked... (bhah!)

Ta-waa-ssen, I believe. But you would think it was more like, Ta-se-waa-sen. Fortunately, I heard the word before seeing it.
