Tumbo Island (foreground), Cabbage Island (middle distance), & Saturna Island (rear). Some of the happiest days of my life, & etc. I once piloted a small rowboat all the way from Saturna to the long harbour in the middle of the photograph. Slack tide, obviously, makes a project like this much easier. Try it at the wrong time of day and you find yourself drawn down the channel to East Point's lighthouse and Boiling Reef, whose massive tidal rips, whirlpools, and standing waves are best experienced from the shore.

Sunflower starfish are amazing animals. I saw my first non-aquarium sun stars in the deep, clear waters off Tumbo's rocky eastern shoreline.
