September 8, 2024 – Sunday
After spending Thursday and Friday nights at Telegraph Harbour, hiking during the day and enjoying live music in the evenings, we set off at sunrise on Saturday for Ganges on Salt Spring Island. We arrived just in time to spend the afternoon at the Salt Spring Saturday Market. Salt Spring Island is the largest and most populated of the Gulf Islands in British Columbia, Canada. The market is one of the most popular outdoor markets in the country. Despite the heat and crowds, we enjoyed people-watching and browsing the homespun items.
On Sunday, we explored the many art galleries and boutiques that line the streets. When we needed a break from the hustle and bustle of the town, we strolled up the hill to the Japanese Haiwa Garden, part of the Ganges Peace Park. It is a beautiful and tranquil space.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time on Salt Spring Island, but tomorrow we will be leaving the island to find a secluded cove where we can immerse ourselves in nature. We look forward to guiding our dinghy through calm waters, spotting wildlife, and enjoying the serene beauty of mother nature.
We were close enough that we enjoyed listening from our boat.
Continuously sailing, morning and night. We saw it sailing when we visited the island in 2019 and it is still going strong.
Dawn at the Cut.
