This shot was taken by Bruce Grebeldinger from Namba, Gibsons Sunday race Dec 4.

“This is in Shoal Channel off the town of Gibsons BC. We are awaiting the start of a second race. The boat pictured is a Martin I am in a Catalina. Picture is through the channel looking west and out into the Salish Sea.
I live in Gibsons, BC. Boatless at present but having a great time crewing on friends’ boats.”

Kind of makes you want to move to BC, no?
