You are correct, I took that shot while on a whale watching trip on our 20th anniversary. I'll have to find my portable hard drives because everything on this computer seems too easy. Anyway, your turn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackduck59 Posted October 30, 2023 #12030 Share Posted October 30, 2023 (edited) Thanks @lyndarra I was wondering what the cryptic clue meant. It was shot 2 years ago and that doesn't seem that long ago. Edited October 30, 2023 by Blackduck59 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like trying to figure them out, @MicCanberra often has good ones. Which ferry did you take that went by Trial Island? Perhaps the Victoria Clipper?

Rare lyndarra Posted October 30, 2023 #12035 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Sorry Lyle, I don't remember the ferry name. It was a two night stay in Victoria after a road/rail tour from Calgary before boarding Celebrity Solstice Sep 2015. Does this help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackduck59 Posted October 30, 2023 #12036 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Cheers @lyndarra That is a spirit class ferry. Either the Spirit of British Columbia or Spirit of Vancouver Island. They wouldn't have taken you past Trial Island, although the Georgina Point lighthouse looks similar. You would have probably seen Trial Island if you took the Scenic Drive along the waterfront from Victoria to Oak Bay (it's a short drive). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am certainly pleased radar has been much improved since I was serving at sea. Thanks. A true guess. I have never been there but I just used my imagination and asked myself "where do icebergs come from" and, Titanic and Greenland immediately popped into my head.

Rare lyndarra Posted October 30, 2023 #12049 Share Posted October 30, 2023 My initial thought was Snowdonia but it didn't quite fit. I can't see Ben Nevis so I'm a bit stumped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
