This guy is not a sailor apparently but got some nice views of our sailing territory in and around Victoria and the Gulf Islands, Royal Victoria Yacht Club is in Cadboro Bay. Don't know why there were few sail boats evident - looked like a lovely day last fall. For the interest of those in the cold and snow. Cheers

From: Stan Harder [mailto:snhar...@shaw.ca] Sent: January-24-13 2:52 PM To: John Mitchell Subject: Aerial View of Southern Vancouver Island John, You've probably sailed through much of what is on this video. Here is a different view. Stan Best in Full screen When you have 20 minutes to spare, this video from the wing of an air plane starts at Nanaimo Airport [about 50 miles North of Victoria, and comes down the East Coast of Vancouver Island over the Canadian Gulf Islands to Victoria. You can see the American Gulf Islands and the Olympic Peninsula to the south. The plane goes over Victoria and then heads West and then North and then over the island to Nanaimo again. For those who may not be familiar with the geography, Vancouver Island is off the West coast of British Columbia. The Island is some 400 miles long and 60 miles at its widest point. The 49th parallel is the basic border with the United States, but much of the Southern Island seen in the video is south of the 49th. Enjoy. <http://vimeo.com/53986934> http://vimeo.com/53986934 Just before our wet weather began I had the Mustang ll out on a beautiful afternoon flight with a couple of wing-mounted cameras going. This video is the result of that afternoon's flight. No I don't work for the BC Tourist department. I just love the land (and water) that I am so privellaged to fly over, and made so much more enjoyable by the greatest airplane design around. Do I sound a bit biased? ha. I started out with an hour and twenty minutes and ended up with nineteen. I just couldn't get it any shorter and even so we miss some great stuff. Still, I think the nineteen minutes is worth it.
