WHIFFENSPIT

Today we drove out to Sooke to pick up some room dividers we need for our common room here at the marina. I made a picnic salad before we left, and we took it down to the Sooke Spit -- "Whiffenspit," to locals. From the parking lot, to the left is the entrance to the Sooke Harbour (and the famous Sooke Harbour House is on the right) and to the right is wide open Juan de Fuca Strait -- all the way to Japan, prety much! It was flat calm, very rare for that area, so it was lovely to hang out there for awile ... saw a couple of little boats coming in to the harbour, but not much else going on. So, for today, here is your Water Shot: Sooke Spit beach.
