Stuff that happened on the ferry from Langdale to Horseshoe Bay, two weeks ago on what was, in hindsight, the last great weekend of the summer includes an impromptu tango and figurehead display by talented passengers.

Langdale, BC on the north side of Howe Sound, on the southeast coast of the Sechelt Peninsula is the start of the final leg of he world's longest highway (the Pan-American or Highway 101). It begins in Southern Chile, stretching to its final destination at Lund which is 139 km up the Sunshine Coast from the BC Ferry terminal.
It is only 60 minutes from downtown Vancouver but the nighttime quiet is remarkable to a city girl like myself. The only way to get to the coast is by boat, insuring a small town lifestyle and atmosphere, especially in the off-season.
