The story behind the image
We had arrived earlier that day on Vancouver Island, with the ferry from Tsawwassen, and we were excited to be on this island that came close to our dreams, in 2002. The air was mild and had that specific maritime smell. The sun was shining. We had a lot of time planned for our (short) way from the Swartz Bay ferry terminal to our B&B for the next two nights in Victoria.
And so we took our time to drive slowly along the coastline, stopping frequently to enjoy the views of the sea, step out and take photos.
This is Cadboro Bay with its popular beach and tiny yacht harbour on the opposite side. Its proximity to Victoria makes it the perfect destination for locals during the weekend. We walked the beach on a Thursday in the early afternoon, and it was not busy at all.
Lovely.
