2 250ml milk

Directions

1. On june 16th, leave trout lake at 10am to take 11:20
2. Pay ferry fare, cash or charge, no debit, and wait for 45 minutes -
waiting is good, builds excitement
3. Board ferry, after parking, get seats and go onto observation deck to
enjoy the wind and the view, and locate where life jackets are stored
4. Contemplate life span if ferry sinks and you are floating in the
water - how long till hypothermia?
5. Disembark at Langdale and follow highway 101 to sechelt, approx 27
kms
6. Once in sechelt turn right on wharf road to go to porpoise bay
provincial park, approx 4 kms
7. Pay for parking, and eat picnic lunch (avoid goose poo, not bad)
8. Swim at beach, look for baby crabs and baby fish in the water. Don't
eat the shellfish as the ride tide is deadly and will kill you.
9. Collect 10 goose feathers on the beach and watch blue herons eat baby
fish from the shoreline, like they have done for tens of thousands of
years. Who's land is it? Is it the colonializing european settlers? Or
is it the ice age colonializing aboriginals? Or is it the cedars? The
sea gulls? The salmons? Or the squirrels? Where is their treaty? Are we
are not their servants? Does not our life depend on their favor? Salmon
people, take care of the salmon!
10. Play on kids playground and listen for the distinctive sound of the
ravens
11. Lie down on picnic blanks and sleep for 1 hour
12. Leave at 4:30 and drive into sechelt and drive down to the wharf
street, park and walk out onto the wharf, look and see if the lafarge
concrete barge is being filled from the conveyor belt that runs all the
way from open pit to the barge loading pier
13. Walk north along the beach, are you looking out over the ocean, or
studying the beach front houses?
14. Pick up a stick on the beach and use it as a bat to smack rocks into
the ocean. Even though you miss more than half you are relaxed and
having fun. Change sticks. Try your left hand and your right hand. Try
big rocks and small rocks. Enjoy the satisfying sound the rock and the
stick make.
15. It is 5:15pm, get back in the minivan and drive slowly back to
ferry, eat some dried mango and beef jerky.
16. Wait at the ferry terminal. You are going home tired and relaxed.
17. Board the ferry and make your way to the white spot. The food will
need two trays and the kind cashier will carry one tray to the table to
help you. Say thank you. Get napkins, straws, silverware and yummy heinz
ketchup.
18. Eat slowly. Everything is tasty. The legendary is your favorite.
Chew slowly. Even though it is so tasty, stop eating when you are full.
19. As you are sitting digesting your food, the car boarding call comes,
and you return to the car and drive slowly home.
