On Sunday October 23rd we were up before dawn, and headed for the ferry terminal at Buckley Bay. We caught one of the earlier ferries across to Denman Island. Then we drove across Denman and caught the next ferry across to Hornby Island. Sadly we didn't research the ferry schedule well enough, and had to wait for quite a while. But the tide was down a bit, and there were some interesting rocks near the ferry terminal, so we shot there while waiting. Eventually we got across to Hornby Island.
I immediately took Chris and Arturo over to Ford Cove. We wanted to shoot the sandstone formations on the beach, before the tide came up any higher. After shooting there for a while, in some rather cool and breezy conditions, we moved over to the adjacent marina and photographed a few of the older boats.
Once we were done at Ford Cove we stopped up on the hillside and photographed some of the old split cedar rail fences among the Garry Oaks. From there we moved on to Tribune Bay. Not finding anything there that was particularly interesting, we headed back toward the ferry terminal. On the way we found an old abandoned boat that I had photographed years ago when I was out with Margarit and the girls. In the seven or so years since I last photographed it, it has badly deteriorated and collapsed.
Later still we made our way back to Denman Island. We stopped and visited a couple of old cemeteries. We went looking for an old sandstone quarry, but never did locate it. We did find an old International Travelall with a sign on it for the Ruby Slippers Ranch, and photographed that.
By this time it was getting late in the afternoon so we caught the ferry back to Vancouver Island. We got back to the rental house in Courtenay by early evening and made ourselves some dinne.
