I remember driving past Union Bay when I was very young, then later as a young adult, and just yesterday as a not so young adult – I finally stopped and poked about for a few minutes at a decent low tide.
This image is not just about the low tide and the dock sitting on the beach rather than floating, it’s also about the piers and docks that are long gone along with the days where coal and salmon and forestry shaped much of Vancouver Island.
A few minutes out of a busy day – time well spent.
