We finally caught the ferry to Tsawassan (I love saying that word!), and had a nice trip back. There was a naturalist talking about the unique ecosystem of the estuary. It was fascinating to learn that there are three orca cultures, and that they all speak different dialects. I thought it was especially funny that they prefer members of the opposite sex that have accents! I guess that does help with genetic diversity.


We watched our ferry approach the dock.




And on the way across we saw this good omen in the sky-A Saltire!




We arrived at our wonderful hosts in Langley, the pub sign was up.





And Mikey was in rare form. Here he is in the first kilt of the afternoon. How many did you wear Mikey? If you want to see the back of the shirt-ask Mike!





People began to arrive shortly after we did (and here we were worried about being late!).

In no particular order....

Here's ronstew and his lovely wife, and BruceBC. What are Ron and Bruce doing, you ask? I'm not sure either, but it looks like some version of "Pull my finger".





Everyone kept telling Ron that his sporran and belt were not on correctly, but he wouldn't do anything about it, so I fixed things for him.




Here's Jamie and Colin. Two different species of man. And yes, I know, Colin's not wearing a kilt, but it was hot and all of his kilts are heavy wool tanks apparently.





Colin, didn't you see the sign?






Here we have the beautiful Maid Marion.





Oh yeah, she came with someone else. Hmm... Oh, here he is. Raphael.





More people and photos to come....

Be well,
