Really great shots Bernd! They bring back so many memories of flights to Refuge, Nanaimo and Victoria. Your shots are so realistic; that’s really the way it is.

Here’s an amusing bit of trivia; according to the Victoria Harbour regs, seaplanes must be off step by the time they reach Pelly Island, that little islet in center of the outer portion of  the Inner Harbour.  Jon Patch told me that some people in the condos on the north and south keep their binoculars trained on seaplanes as they takeoff and land and immediately report violators! (I guess that fills up one's days.) :)

It’s possible that I may be able to get back to Refuge Cove next year in which case I’ll get lots of photos. You can guess what I might use them for. :)

Hi Larry, I guessed that there must be some harbour regulations for seaplanes, because when I looked at the charts prior to the flight I saw, where seaplanes were allowed to fly and where not. I am a little bit of course with my landing and I hoped that nobody would notice :)

 

Great to hear that you plan on visiting Refuge Cove again. It really is a superb package that you have put together for all of us to enjoy
