My family likes to take the float plane between Vancouver and Pender Island - it saves about 3 hours in travel time and is a spectacular 20 minute flight when the weather is good. Esther and son Russell came back on the plane just before Christmas and I went to Port Washington to meet them. As the plane was landing a cormorant rose from the water to meet it and for a breath holding moment it looked like the bird might strike the plane's propellor. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/Canada2012/Chickenw.jpg.html http://tinyurl.com/b7xrn8n Have a look large please. From the pilots on the list I am interested in knowing what would have happened if the bird had not gained sufficient altitude. C&C always welcome Howard (on quiet Pender now that everyone is gone)
