Salt Spring is so cool. My coworker got married there a number of years ago. All the wine, beer, and food was local. We camped in Ruckle Park and it was so pitch black in the night that you could see every star. I stared into that abyss for hours and contemplated our insignificance in the grand scheme of the universe. And it was summer and the weather was idyllic.
I have been to Saltspring Island many times. At last look, the Inn at Vesuvius has yet to reopen and the Fulford Inn is now torn down. Ganges has a beautiful harbour to go paddling a kayak.
Ruckle is absolutely but I prefer the provincial park (camped there last summer!) so beautiful and I definitely want to go back this summer (hopefully via bike this time!)
Great video! I love all 5 of these stops, and I would like to add another few places like the other couple of wineries, the new distillery 'Shine' that we recently visited, and a new cidery, and we also recently went to 'Moonshine Mama's' to get some fabulous tinctures made with turmeric & ginger, etc....and don't forget to go to 'The Treehouse' restaurant in Ganges! There's so many fantastic little places to visit!
Oh my gosh, yes! Great suggestions, but we only had time for a day trip, so I’ll have to go back to cross a few of those off my list. Thanks for the recommendations.
thats funny. Im subbed to your channele because of your english channel long boat experience. Keep looking into your travels, you came to my island :) Let me know if you ever come back, things change but knowing your way around can make up for lost time!
This is totally the Pacific West Coast experience... Rafting or kayaking, and then top the day off with wine/beer and cheese/berry tasting amidst the surrounding beautiful mountains and forest. Talk about a summer treat. If I were forced to move to Canada, I would insist on B.C. Absolutely love it. I've also been all over Toronto, but I don't like it as much. Terrain is too flat, and the culture is quite different. West coast culture is way more outdoorsy and exciting, in my completely unbiased opinion Lol. Anyway, this one is on my list now for next summer's road trip.
The vivid field of flowers...in this blissful spring island...reminds me of how my heart bloomed...that was once frozen from the winter season...the birds' harmonies produce a cheery melody...and complement the terrain of hues perfectly...my skin feels the gentle warmth of the sun...and let's my heart tickle as I think of you...the cherry blossoms remind me of how I fall for you...and how I was captivated by you like pink carnations...because you are as elegant as white lilacs...and a beam of joy like Sunflowers...may the hydrangeas show you my gratitude...for you have supported and understood me...may the tulips reach their message to you...wherein I confess that my love will be everlasting...Like the spring...it is gentle beauty like our story...and it is proof that after winter comes spring...Thank you for being my spring and new season...💖

@Daver G salt spring is boring and i was bored of it not many great things to talk about if you've been here all your life. st marys and the market are the highlights. also there are some die hard fans of cooking with me
@@DownieLive I love that you're so good-hearted, and you can roll with the negative trolls. That's YouTubing for you. No matter who they are or what they say, they still show up and engage which still supports the channel, and you still wind up on top. 😉😁👍
"I mean this in the best possible way, sort of a hippie vibe"...haha, are you trying to apologise for suggesting it's hippie? you need to take your shoes off and stay awhile. 😉 ;) it IS and always will be hippie. Thanks for the vid. I liked the music.
You need a passport to enter Canada as an American if you’re crossing by air, or you only need an enhanced drivers license if you’re entering Canada by car/boat.
You know you’re a tourist when bc ferries is a highlight...
Greedy bastards.
pro tip : you can watch movies at kaldrostream. I've been using it for watching all kinds of movies recently.
@Austin Jalen Definitely, I have been using kaldroStream for years myself :)
that first jaunt from Tsawwassen to Active Pass is torture to me. But once the horn blows, you know your island adventures are getting closer!
Cruise ship for us poor folk!❤

I’m so happy excited I’m going there this weekend!
Have fun!
You missed one of the best things about Saltspring - but don't take my word for it, look up 'Saltspring little tiny trains'
Omg. That’s amazing. It’s on the list for next time. I didn’t even know it existed!

I live here.
And?
What song is this? I've heard it in your vids before!
@Sebastian Bailey I was wondering the same thing! It's called Flowers by DJ Blue.
Will Americans need a passport to go to Island?
You need a passport to enter Canada as an American if you’re crossing by air, or you only need an enhanced drivers license if you’re entering Canada by car/boat.
Where is the salt spring, must be really fantastic to see all that salt.
Where is the fresh water spring
Salt is toxic. All hail Fresh water
Lol, did you guys shit yourselves to death after too many berries on your 1st day?
Shhhhhh! Tell your friends not the world
Love the show but the music... er.. MEH
