My last day on the island was forecasted to be sunny.
Some of the wild turkeys that roam the island.
Up at the site the feral goats were out sunning themselves.
We had some time before catching the ferry back to Swartz Bay. You can drive up to the top of Mount Warburton Pike. The elevation is 1316 ft (401 m).
The views from the top are spectacular.
We were able to see a bald eagle while we were up on the summit.
It was out to East Point. Almost half of the island is part of the Gulf Islands National Park Reserve. This is the Foghorn Alarm Building.
Tumbo Island in the distance.
These are the rocks at Boiling Reef. Can you see the Stellar Sea Lions and Harbour Seals?
The Harbour Seals were scattered on the left and the sea lions on the right. The wind was carrying the sound of the sea lions roaring.
A closer look at the Sea Lions.
Tumbo Island.
This is Winter Cove.
The ferry dock at Lyall Harbour. The 4:10 ferry goes to Swartz Bay, via a transfer at Mayne Island. From Mayne Island to Swartz Bay there was only ten vehicles on the ferry.
I always enjoy the ferry crossings and the scenery. Probably because the lighting often reminds me of some of Uncle Tak’s paintings.
It was back to Sidney, BC on Thursday night and then a flight back to Toronto on Friday morning.
