sea shanty

in Lighthouse Bay on Galiano Island not yet through Porlier Pass. There were several of these old houses, slowly rotting into the salty sea.

Porlier Pass was a crazy bit of ocean with wacky currents, whirlpools and churning water. We had to time our passing through here with the tides as it rips through at 9 knots, faster than the boat can go at full speed. Don't fight the tides.
