We wanted to catch the earliest ferry from Vancouver.
Actually good thing we cycled over to a bus stop...15 kms. away to use bike racks on bus..gotta get there lst ..because on holiday weekends there's competition for bike racks that accommodate 2-3 bikes.

On that day after getting off, dropping off pannier weights at hotel..then cycling another 15 kms. to another ferry to cross a bay....after lunch, winery...it was around 30 degrees C (I think that's over 80-85F), returning..it was 70-75 kms. yesterday.

At this very moment I'm at the Saun Juan Island library, email, etc. Just discovered I had been riding last few days with my front tire at 40 psi.. I knew my bike riding was unnecessarily sluggish. I felt like a banana slug (a Pacific Northwest creature that is a large bright yellow slug that looks beautiful.) We had problems getting valve screw loose to pump wheel prior to trip. Bike shops in vancouver close long after I get home from work...to fix that problem.


And I saw 2 black porpoises earlier this afternoon ,...while we were on the ferry whipping from Victoria to Saun Juan Is. At least it looked like porpoises, too small for whales.
