Hey MapisM, nice pics also, definite commercial theme 
Couple of those shots indicated a huge tidal variation, what sort of range?

The big male from J pod came over to a friends boat a couple of years ago and just "gently" pushed it up after looking at him from the side. It (the boat) only weighs about 15 ton and he said it just shouldered it up about a foot on one side.:disgust:
Got to see them this year.

Dunno exactly, TBH. But I would say 4m at least, probably more...Hey MapisM, nice pics also, definite commercial theme

Make sure you visit Gibsons Landing, along the Sunshine Coast.
SWMBO and I are building a house overlooking Keats Island. We pegged out the walls last year and found a bear had come and crapped where our living room is going to be!
Further up the coast is a place called Sechelt and behind there is a large seawater inlet, I forget the name. Very sheltered. Masses of wildlife – porpoise and orcas especially. The water has a few hazards. Because they tow huge log booms down to Vancouver you can run into deadheads – escaped logs – the beaches are full of them too.
The plan one day will be to shop our Sealine out there. I am really starting to love the boat. The original plan was a to get a Heard 28 gaff cutter and transport her, but the 365 is just such a great boat, and far more practical.

The bus
The plane
Race rocks, there was a visable difference of water height each side of these rocks.
Sea sausages (for the transient orca's)

and a few more to bore you with...
hopefully I have not repeated any here...
spot the boat, looking from Stanley Park
best place to spot most of Canada's wildlife is the dumpster...
Olympic torch, next to cruiser liner dock
went to Whistler - this is the Sea to Sky highway, originally nothing more than a logging road..
dipped off the highway to take a couple of pics
arrived at Whistler - view of Peak to Peak cable car, 4km unsupported, we even waited for a glass bottomed gondola.
back down to Vancouver - overlooking harbour
a marina for Sea Planes
sometimes the planes have to share..
just coming into the public visitors pontoon was this..
big nordhavn..
this made a lot of noise..
through gulf islands
twin tone sea...
family friend has a man cave to die for... 18 cars including this outrageous Impala..
BC Ferries, are we reversing or going forwards...

Beneteau ST50, by the look of her.
Detroit diesels, quite likely.
Don't dare calling that noise on the other side of the Pond, it's actually music for American ears...!
Great pics indeed, thanks again for sharing them with us.
