Sitting at home sick today.... got a little homesick too - so I took a few from Tofino to Ucluelet on the Beautiful West Coast of Vancouver Island...(in Summer) in fall and winter...bleh!

Ucluelet Harbor in sight, Amphitrite Point off to the right - I love the fact that all the correct navigational bouys are in place.

I used to commercial fish (52 foot freezer troller)out of these two harbors for Salmon, and Long Line (1800 hooks a line - 3-4 lines at a time... all day all night...for Halibut, Snapper, Dog Fish (like  a little shark) and had a lot of fun...made some money. Bought a new car, or two... should have invested in real estate in either of these two places and sold it off just a few years later...I'd be retired!  Now that I think of the work I put in 20/7 days a week 3+ weeks at a time ...maybe not so home sick anymore...

Excellent series and I like those first two  sunset views especially.

Interesting story too and I bet there are many of us, me included, that would do things differently if we had the chance again.:(

I always used to smile in England when people would screw their faces up at the mention of eating shark. If only they knew what Rock Salmon is.:o

Flake is my favourite fish here in Oz, very tasty it is too.:)

That's a great and interesting story Greg.  And man, I hope you're getting well.  My grandmother would have told me, "If you feel good enough to fly the flight sim, you're good enough to go to school!"  :lol:

 

These are some amazing shots, especially your skies.  Beautiful!
