Small Planes and Long Days

Took Tofino Air to Nanaimo today for a meeting. Up at 6:00 and drove to Sechelt in drizzle which had turned into a torrential downpour by 7:15. Soaked right through my GoreTex. Small Beaver plane but big views as we flew over Georgia Strait. Great meeting, met lots of dedicated folks and flew back at 6:45 on a bigger plane - with a load of people who had been to a memorial service and were high on life - I think that happens sometimes when you have a personal experience with the death of someone close to you. One woman pretended to be the flight attendant and gave a pretty good imitation of the safety announcements. Passing over two cruise ships as we flew home was amazing - they looked small on the expanse of water. And now, to rest for the meeting tomorrow in Powell River.
