Bowen Island is 20 square mile chunk of rock lying two miles off the west coast of Canada. It is home to 3000 people, three mountains, two valleys, four lakes, about 15 beaches, two species of salmon, one village and me and my family.
"To chart this land
hanging over ten thousand inlets
and a distant mind as of many narrows,
an impossible thing -
no music
sounds as many changes with such
common theme."
-- George Bowering

Here's what Environment Canada said happened this morning:
WWCN20 CWVR 061417
STORM WARNING
STORM WARNING ISSUED FOR THE COASTAL WATERS OF BRITISH COLUMBIA BY
THE PACIFIC WEATHER CENTRE OF ENVIRONMENT CANADA AT 6:17 AM PST
WEDNESDAY 6 MARCH 2002.
STORM WARNING ISSUED FOR
HOWE SOUND.
A STRONG ARCTIC OUTFLOW ON THE BC COAST THIS MORNING WILL DECREASE
SLIGHTLY IN INTENSITY LATER TODAY AS A STRONG ARCTIC RIDGE OF HIGH
PRESSURE BEGINS TO WEAKEN OVER THE BC INTERIOR. NORTHERLY OUTFLOW
WINDS HAVE REACHED SPEEDS UP TO STORM FORCE 50 KNOTS THIS MORNING
THROUGH HOWE SOUND. WINDS WILL EASE TO GALE FORCE THIS AFTERNOON.
Winds EASING to gale force. You get that? EASING. To GALE force. That's how windy it was here last night. A strong gale is a welcome relief. The water in the Queen Charlotte Channel looks like a river flowing south full of rapids and everything. There were some sailing cancellations on the Vancouver Island ferries this morning, but I've seen a couple go by recently.
No rain at least. Sky is turning blue now and the colour of the sea is following.
