The video is a bit long (all pictures) for a "routine" crossing many of us in Victoria have done but, nevertheless an interesting video,,, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmUAO0NSBHE%20 October has actually been fantastically beautiful with warm sunshine, magnificent fall colours, and intense lighting brightening that incredible fall foliage. I didn't get out at all paddling - working too much to pay bills (portfolio went south as did the housing market, but lots of work still - G/Bless Canada, heh, heh). I think it was last week we had one of those fantastical days with Jordan River running almost 17 seconds at 12 feet, all glassy swell with loooooong, tall breaks. Alternatively, September was WILD with huge storms and seas and wind while Sean Morley did his circumnavigation of Vancouver Island in record time (albeit with a new understanding of risk-management). I was sad I didn't make it up to Cape Scott - it is not often you get 27 foot swell, 65 knot winds up there when it is still warm, lots of daylight, and all the access roads are snow-free and still in summer condition.That would have been some good photo ops of the seascape. Ah welll...
