  PHOTO: Surf Scoter by Chris McVittie…. The day started at 9am with those who had driven south breathing a sigh of relief that we no longer have to work. The traffic in the opposite direction was incredibly bad due to a major accident North Bound. It was a beautiful cool sunny day with no breeze

  Nine DNCBers met at the Tsawwassen ferry causeway on a windy morning – David, Noreen, Glen, Pat, Jonathan, Lorraine, Mike B1, Lorna and Terry. The rough water meant that the birds were far away.
