With the dying winds, the smoke settled back in to the Georgia Basin and produced some interesting red sunrises and sunsets as shown in the picture. Cabbage and Tumbo Islands have a unique variety of landforms and history, but part of the experience there is the long views out over the Strait toward Vancouver, the mountains above Whistler, etc. Needless to say, with smoke creating a fog-like condition, those views were different this trip.
The location on the strait dictates that one chooses their time carefully to stay at Cabbage Island as the usual strong winds would be pretty uncomfortable in the anchorage. This trip, though, we had light breezes, warm sunshine, and, with this being BC Day weekend, lot's of company out anchoring and camping.
