Such a Storm day. Right on Discovery Passage. The waves long and frothing. Nothing better than that. My favourite thing is to go down to the ocean when it's heaving and hauling.
Discovery Passage is a channel that forms part of the Inside Passage, between Vancouver Island and the discovery islands, near the Georgia Strait
The Passage was named after Captain vancouver's Ship the HMS Discovery.
It's mostly Quadra Island that is the eastern shoreline. "There's tempest in yon horned moon, and lightning in yon cloud;but hark the music, mariners!The wind is piping loud. The lightning flashes free, while the hollow oak our palace is, our heritage the sea." (A. Cunningham)
The Strait of Georgia is on the southern end of the passage
Quadra Island is the largest part of the islands that can be seen from here.
This is used by many large ships, and Cruise Ships in the summer. You can see them pass by on a clear day, larger than life.
But on this day, it was soaking wet with rain, and surf and brrrrrrrrr. And all of it pretty amazing.
