Ask for a quote for aerial photography in the Gulf Islands!

GISS Drama classes strut their stuff in a year end, open air, evening performance at the Kanaka Road Skatepark. Great venue! They followed up with a second performance at Centennial Park during the Ganges Saturday Market.

Even on a dull, quiet day like the one here (Round Saltspring 2010).

Leading the first start out of Ganges Harbour, the ocean racer, Icon dwarfs the other “big boats”. Icon is a Perry 66 with a -69 handicap. Right this minute, it’s the first boat to have rounded Swiftsure Bank in the 2010 Swiftsure Lightship Classic.

Also in the Swiftsure, the multihull Dragonfly blasted back into Victoria at 20 knots.

Here’s the Salt Spring Island Golf and Country Club, a 9 hole, par 36 course.

The photo was taken through the window of one of Saltspring Air‘s venerable Beaver float planes on the 7 min flight from Maple Bay to Ganges. While shooting through plexiglass is not recommended for great photos, high shutter speed and a contrast increase in post production can yield acceptable results. Particularly for the web.

Absolute Kaos sails under the wires at Maple Bay at 4pm. Almost looks like it’s rounding a mark.

There were only a handful of Round Saltspring boats ahead at that time. Maple Bay, at 26 NM from Ganges is half way around the Island.

UPDATE: Absolute Kaos, skippered by Reigh North placed 2nd (of 92) boats. The Race was run by Mai-Tai.
