Ganges Harbour to Fulford Harbour - 2 hours, 10 miles

I was reading in the Island newsletter about the different towns. We didn’t remember going to Fulford Harbour on the other side of Saltspring Island. So, we decided to go and check it out. We were a little surprised that there were hardly any pleasure boats at anchor and the government dock looks like it will only hold 3-4 boats. We anchored out and took the dinghy over to “town” and found out that it consists of a ferry dock, grocery store, small restaurant, art gallery (closed) and thank God, a coffee shop. We had delicious lattes and sat at the outside table looking at overgrown yards and streets without sidewalks. The Gulf Islands are known for the artistic people who live here. We have found them to be “very Berkeley”. What I mean is most people wear Birkenstocks or sandals and wear tie dye or hemp clothing. Actually they look quite comfortable. No homeless people on the streets and the whole area has a welcoming and accepting feeling.
