Podcasts about mayne island

Mayne Island is the latest island facing deer troubles. In this episode we learn about what makes fallow deer such a challenge, why Mayne Islanders are asking for help, and what's happening with the troubled efforts to remove invasive deer from Sidney Island. 

Carolyn made her way to the West Coast, from England, in the mid-eighties. At that time, she was beginning what would turn out to be a 35-year career in nursing. The journey would lead her to become the first community nurse on Mayne Island, and then, after moving to Pender Island, continuing that role here. She will speak about her experiences in that time, as well, discuss her many years working in palliative care, a portion of her work, that was deeply important to her. Carolyn will also speak about growing up in England, learning to sail with her father there, and all the many things she is up to, in retirement. ____________________________________________________________________________ If you are interested in learning more about recording an audio memoir, you can email me by clicking this. ____________________________________________________________________________ To stay up-to-date with new episodes, here are some of the ways you can subscribe...

Did you know that when you drive from the ferry terminal on Mayne Island, into its village centre, you're driving past reserve land held by the Tsartlip First Nation? You might not. Because of colonization there have been very few signs of the W̱SÁNEĆ people's long history on the island, even though it's part of their unceded territory. But that's changing. In this episode, host Kathryn Marlow meets a group of Indigenous and non-Indigenous people working together to put W̱SÁNEĆ culture back on the island. The project is called “Walking Forward with the Past” and has a list of upcoming events on its website.

Roy L Hales/Cortes Currents The Cortes Community Housing Society has just released a video about the design work they have completed, with the help of Iredale Architecture, on the Rainbow Ridge project. “ We're very lucky to have Bill Weaver, the video maker on our board of directors. Bill is actually our vice president and one of the things he's so gifted at is capturing video and photos. One of the things he's been trying to do since the beginning of the project is really record the process that the housing society has gone through,” said Sandra Wood, Executive Director of the Housing Society. “I think Bill has done a beautiful job in capturing footage along the way and really trying to demonstrate the care and thought that we're putting into this project. The experts that we've invited as our architects and landscape designers and stormwater designers, are people who we really felt understood Cortes and could add something of value to our community and bring an environmental sensitivity to the project.” The video starts out with Richard Iredale, of Iredale Architecture saying, “Islands can tend to become only accessible to either the very young or the very prosperous. So the idea of affordable housing in a more rural community is intriguing because making housing available to people of all ages and all income brackets strengthens that community. I partly lived on Mayne Island for a big chunk of my life, so I've had a firsthand sense of what it's like to participate and volunteer and feel like you can make a difference.” His firm has done a lot of work in the Gulf Islands, as well as downtown Vancouver. Wood added, “Things like the landscape plan are not just about making the property pretty for the future tenants, the landscaping will have an actual function on the property because we're all living in a watershed. The things that we need to put in place on Rainbow Ridge are critical to ensuring the lakes are protected and the whole neighborhood continues to be a really healthy and beautiful ecology. This will be our third attempt to get government funding to start construction. I think we'll be better prepared now than we've ever been before as far as having more of the planning and design work done in advance, and to have a budget that's really solid and professionally costed in today's dollars.”

A Sermon for the Fourth Sunday after Trinity Romans 8:17-23 by William Klock There are a lot of times when I hate my cell phone.  There are other times I'm thankful for it.  We were on Mayne Island this week.  On Wednesday morning I went for a bike ride.  You wouldn't think it's possible to get lost on a twenty square kilometre Island—but you'd be wrong.  I took a wrong turn.  I didn't know it at the time, but my bearings were all wrong.  At least on Mayne, no matter where you go you end up at back at the ocean and with a beautiful view.  I got to the end of the road—much faster than expected—and was surprised to be looking across Active Pass at Sturdies Bay on Galiano.  I was expecting to be on the other side of the island, looking out at Point Roberts and Tsawwassen and Mount Baker.  I was disoriented.  I'd been absolutely certain I was riding east when, in fact, I'd been riding due north.  What road had I been on?  There aren't that many, after all.  So out came my phone.  I opened “Maps”, and there I could see the whole island in front of me on that little screen.  And almost instantly I could see where I'd missed a turn, where I'd ended up, and I knew exactly where I needed to go from where I was.  I was confused, but seeing the lay of the land, the big picture, sorted it all out for me. The same thing happens with the Bible.  It starts when we're children.  We read books full of disconnected “Bible stories”—a bit like a kid who's only ever ridden his bike up and down his own street or had his dad load the bike in the car so he can go ride on his friend's street or at a park far away.  But he's got little or no idea how those places are connected.  We end up knowing Adam and Abraham and Moses and Jesus, but we struggle to know how their stories are related and part of the bigger story.  As adults the most common approach to reading the Bible—when we read it!—is the cover-to-cover, Genesis-to-Revelation approach.  Don't misunderstand; any type of Bible reading is good Bible reading, but the order the books of the Bible are arranged in isn't chronological and doesn't always help us see the “big picture”.  Even Bible scholars and theologians aren't immune from missing the big picture.  They're often so focused on the individual trees that it becomes easy to inadvertently forget the shape of the forest. I say this because our Epistle from Romans 8 this morning is one those wonderful, short passages that bring us back to the big picture of the Good News, of God's redemption and renewal of humanity and of his entire Creation.  But even here we might miss it.  Many Christians reading through Romans miss the big picture here because they aren't expecting Paul's language of God subjecting his Creation to futility and bondage and of that Creation waiting in with eager longing.  And yet our Epistle this morning is St. Paul leading us right to the climax of his letter to the Romans.  It's the hill from which we can see the lay of the land, where we've come from, where we're going, and how it all fits together. We don't have time this morning to get into the details of Paul's line of reasoning in the first half of Romans, but what he does in those chapters is to work his way through the story of Israel and all her ups and downs—and for Israel things were mostly “down”.  And now in Chapter 8 he begins talking about the life in the flesh versus life in the Spirit and the law of sin and death versus the law of the Spirit.  This is where, in verse 11, he famously writes that if the Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead lives in us, the One who raised Jesus from the dead will also give life to our mortal bodies—if we are in Christ Jesus we live in hope of the same resurrection he has experienced.  But even more than that, Paul goes on to write, through our union with Jesus we are children and heirs of God, fellow heirs with Christ—that means sharing in Jesus' inheritance.  But what is that?  Paul writes in verse 17 that it means to suffer with him so that we can be glorified with him.  The Christian life—life with Jesus—for Paul means two things: suffering and glory.  Suffering is a given as we long for glory. What does that mean?  What does Paul mean by “glory”?  And what about suffering?  Most Christians living through the last two thousand years have understood that suffering is part of our calling as we follow Jesus.  Jesus promised it.  The New Testament writers talk about it often—and most of them faced it themselves and were martyred for proclaiming the lordship of Jesus.  Many of our brothers and sisters today are persecuted for their faith in various parts of the world.  And yet in the West—probably in part because we haven't faced persecution for such a long time—many Christians have no place for suffering in their theology.  Many even go so far as to say that if you're experiencing suffering—sickness, poverty, rejection or anything else negative—it's due to a lack of faith.  But that's just the opposite of what Jesus taught and it's just the opposite of what Paul teaches here.  The inheritance we share with Jesus is one of suffering that leads to glory.  What this means is at the centre of our Epistle and Paul goes on in verse 18: For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.   Paul says, “For I consider…”  That doesn't mean this is his opinion.  Paul uses the same Greek word several times as he builds his argument in Romans.  Other translations say “I reckon”.  The sense of it is, “This is how I work it out”.  Knowing the Scriptures, knowing Jesus, working under the Spirit's inspiration, this is the only conclusion he can reach.  He's been building this argument for eight chapters in Romans and here he reaches the inevitable conclusion: those who will be glorified will first face suffering, but that this suffering can't begin to compare with the glory to be revealed. Think about what a powerful statement that was when Paul wrote this.  When he writes that word “suffering” most of us probably read into that whatever our own trials and tribulations are.  That's fine.  But what did Paul have in mind?  Later in the chapter, in verses 35-36 he writes that nothing will separate us from the love of Christ—nothing—and then he goes on to detail the sorts of suffering that he and other Christians were facing—things people might think mean that God doesn't love them, things they might think show a lack of faith, things that might separate them from Jesus.  Here's his list: hardship or distress, persecution or famine, nakedness or peril or sword.  And he quotes from Psalm 44: “For your sake we are being killed all day long; we are accounted sheep to be slaughtered.”  These things are far worse than the sorts of suffering any of us are likely to face.  And as horrible as this suffering was, none of it could compare with the glory to be revealed—no amount of suffering could make the glory not worth it. But what is the glory Paul's writing about?  Our translation says that this glory is to be revealed “to us”, but that makes it sound like we're going to be spectators to this glory.  What Paul writes in Greek has the sense of this glory revealed towards us or into us.  It's a sense of this glory being bestowed on us as a gift—and this makes perfect sense when we remember what Paul said before: that if we are in Christ, then we will share in his inheritance—we will participate in his inheritance. And what's the inheritance?  Well, who is Jesus?  He is Lord.  His glory is revealed or it's unveiled in his glorious and sovereign rule of Creation and Paul is saying here that the glory we wait for with eager longing, the glory that is the basis for our hope as Christians is not glory in the sense many people often think.  We often think of “glory” as a place or a state of being.  When a Christian dies we often hear people say that he or she has gone on or been promoted to “glory”.  Brothers and Sisters, “glory” isn't going to heaven when you die.  As Jesus' glory is his sovereign rule over Creation, so the glory to be revealed in us is our participation, our sharing in the sovereign and saving rule of Jesus.  And this is why he says what he does in verse 19: For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God.   If our hope, if our glory—as it is so often wrongly portrayed—was for the destruction of this world and an eternity of disembodied existence in heaven with God, then the Creation would have no reason to eagerly long for that glory to be revealed.  What Paul describes here is the opposite: God's Creation is waiting for the great day when its true rulers are revealed, the sons of God, and when it will be delivered from corruption.  Look at verses 20-22: For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God.  For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now.   This is where we need to stand back and look at the big picture.  Everything Paul's saying here is dependent on that.  It's the big picture the Bible gives of us of God's Creation, from beginning to end.  We read in Genesis that God created and that everything was good.  We even read there that when he created human beings he looked at his handiwork and declared us not just “good”, but “very good”.  But we look around us now and have to wonder what happened.  War is always raging somewhere, there's violence everywhere, there's greed and corruption everywhere.  Justice is in short supply and so are the basic things that people need to survive—maybe not in our part of the world, but for billions of others.  And yet even if we don't pay attention to the big evils that play out on the international scene—or even on the local scene, for that matter—we only have to look at the struggles that we have ourselves and that we share with our family and friends to keep away from sin and to do good.  Hate is easy; love is hard.  Paul knew it.  The Roman Christians knew it.  We know it. Paul tells the story of Creation in the book of Romans, but he tells it as Israel's story.  We don't have time to run through the whole book this morning obviously, but Paul's point is that the whole Creation is enslaved in the same sort of way that Israel was in Egypt.  And right there we get a glimmer of hope.  Remember, when Israel went down to Egypt—we read about that in the story of Jacob and Joseph—it was all according to the Lord's plan.  The Lord arranged for Joseph to become a slave in Egypt so that through him he could rescue his people.  Egypt started out good for Israel.  When things turned around under a new king who enslaved Israel, it wasn't because the Lord had ceased to be good and it wasn't because the Lord was no longer in control.  No.  We learn later that the Lord allowed the Israelites to become slaves in Egypt so that he could then manifest his glorious sovereignty to everyone—to Israel in rescuing her and to the Egyptians by showing his power over her false gods and over her mighty horses and chariots.  In the Exodus, the Lord marked Israel forever as the people he had freed from slavery, people to whom he had given a new life.  That became their national identity, celebrated every year in the Passover. In all of that Paul is working up to his point here.  As the Lord allowed Israel to fall into bondage to Egypt, so he has allowed his good Creation to be subjected to death and decay.  We may look around and wonder if things are hopeless.  Every time one war ends and we see peace break out another war begins somewhere else.  We work hard to lift this group out of poverty, but then that group over there falls into it.  We cure one disease only to have two new ones crop up.  Isaiah wrote about a day when the lion would lie down with the lamb and we look around us and wonder if that's ever going to happen. And Paul assures us: Yes, it's for real.  This is God's promise.  No matter how bad things are, this is still his good Creation and he has promised to put everything to rights.  Even as he cast Adam and Eve from the garden he was promising them that he would one day overcome sin and restore everything to the way it should be.  Genesis shows things going from bad to worse.  It shows us humanity losing even the very knowledge of God and sinking into paganism and idolatry.  But then it tells us how God came to Abraham and established a covenant with him.  The Lord promised that through Abraham and his family he would restore not only humanity, but all of Creation and here Paul reminds us what that means, what it looks like and why the Creation itself would long for it to happen. Again, we need the big picture—we need to remember where things started.  In Genesis we read that the Lord created human beings to be his image bearers.  Theologians have argued for two thousand years over what exactly that means, but in the last century, as we've been able to read the Old Testament in light of other Jewish and Ancient Near Eastern literature that's been unearthed we've realised that the language of Genesis is temple language.  Israel's pagan neighbours built great stone temples and then places images of their gods in them.  Those images represented the gods' rule or sovereignty over the land and people.  And Genesis uses the same languages and imagery, except that in Genesis it's the Lord himself who builds his own temple—the cosmos—and instead of placing an image of himself carved in stone or gold in it, he creates human beings, to live in his presence in the temple, but also to rule his creation justly and wisely—to have dominion and to subdue Creation in the Lord's name.  That's what it meant for humanity to bear God's image: to be his stewards, the priests of his temple.  But then we chose to rebel.  As Paul writes in Romans 1, we chose to worship the Creation instead of the Creator.  We subjected the Lord's good creation to corruption. Now, in light of that, it should make sense that Creation is longing for the day when our inheritance is revealed.  That's the day when Creation will be set free from the corruption we brought on it.  That's the day when we, Creation's stewards will be restored and renewed and put back in charge, reigning with Jesus.  Again, think back to Israel.  He chose and called her, he rescued her, he made her his people, he sent her to the nations to bring healing and restoration.  But she rebelled and she rejected her mission.  And yet the Lord didn't give up and he didn't change his plan to redeem his Creation through Israel.  He simply sent a faithful Israelite—he sent Jesus.  And Jesus not only redeemed Israel by dying in her place, he established a new Israel in his own person, a new people to be a light to the nations—this time equipped by the Holy Spirit. This is what Paul is getting at in verse 23.  It's not just the Creation that groans in eager longing: And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. The Lord hasn't given up on his Creation any more than he gave up on Israel.  Creation is eagerly waiting for its rightful stewards to be set right.  On that great day the Lord will make all things new and restore his redeemed people to their rightful place as good, wise, and just rulers of Creation—as the faithful priests of his temple.  This is what it means for our glory to be revealed.  The big picture, the story of redemption, reminds us that this was how it was supposed to be from the beginning.  And so we groan and we wait eagerly too.  We live in the mess we've made here in the world.  We live with sin and with sickness and with death, and yet we live in hope, knowing that what God has begun in Jesus he will one day complete. And we can hope because our God has given us the firstfruits of his new creation.  He's given a down payment on what he has promised.  The present age and its rulers have been decisively defeated by Jesus at the cross and the empty tomb and God's new age has been inaugurated.  Jesus is Lord.  He truly is God's King.  He's given us his Spirit—Paul describes the Spirit here as the firstfruits—and that's because we live in the overlap between these two ages, these two kingdoms.  The Jews brought the firstfruits of the harvest—usually sheaves of grain harvested at the very beginning of the season—as offerings to God.  They offered them in good years and even in bad years in faith that God would provide the rest of the harvest.  And so the Spirit is the sign of hope for us.  The life he gives to us here and now is a reminder that encourages our faith and hope in the resurrection and the new creation to come.  We groan and we sigh, we wait longingly in eager expectation, but our hope is certain because God is faithful and keeps his promises.  The prophet Habakkuk wrote that one day the glory of the Lord will fill the earth as the waters cover the sea.  Brothers and Sisters, when that seems impossible, we only need remember the cross of Jesus, his empty tomb, and his gift of the Holy Spirit. But our faith is not a complacent faith.  We haven't been redeemed by Jesus and given the gift of the Spirit so that we can retreat into a sort of personal holiness or private piety while we wait for Jesus to return.  Not at all.  Jesus has inaugurated this new age in his resurrection and somehow someday the making new that began in his resurrection will encompass all of Creation and you and I are called, in the power of the Spirit, to embody that renewing work here and now.  How is Habakkuk's prophecy going to be fulfilled?  How does the knowledge of the glory of the Lord spread to cover the earth?  Brothers and Sisters, that's our mission.  We're called to proclaim to the world the Good News that Jesus is Lord and that his kingdom is here and now.  Our mission is to call the world to repentance and faith.  But don't forget: We are also called to live out repentance and faith in our lives in such a way that we lift the veil on the kingdom and that we give a glimpse to the world of what heaven on earth looks like.  So far as we are able to do so today, we are called to exercise the good dominion that was given to Adam—we are called to be stewards of God's temple, of his Creation.  Jesus has led the way for us here, the second Adam.  In his earthly ministry he made his Father's new creation known in practical ways to the people around him and so should we.  In a word full of sin we should be visible in seeking after holiness.  In a world full of war and injustice, we should visible and at the forefront working for peace and justice.  In a world full of hurting and sickness, we should be seeking to make the healing ministry of Jesus known.  In a world full of anger and hate, we should be working for forgiveness and reconciliation. If you're like me you might get discouraged thinking about the mission Jesus has given us.  When I think of these things I think of things that we as Christians can do to bring Jesus and his glory to the world in “big” ways.  I think of Christians—and there are so often so few of us—working on the big international scene or I think of missionaries going to far off countries.  And then I get discouraged.  That's far away.  It's bigger than me.  But Friends, never forget that for every St. Paul or St. Peter, there were thousands of ordinary saints manifesting Jesus in their ordinary lives, proclaiming the Good News, and building the kingdom right where they were.  We fulfil Jesus' calling to us as we raise covenant children to walk with him in faith and to live the values of his kingdom.  We fulfil Jesus' calling when we work for peace and reconciliation with our neighbours, in our workplaces, and in our schools.  We fulfil Jesus' calling when we forgive as we have been forgiven.  We fulfil Jesus' calling when we love the hard-to-love people around us, knowing that we ourselves are hard-to-love too, but that Jesus loved us enough to die for us.  We fulfil Jesus' calling when we sacrifice ourselves, our rights, our prerogatives, our time, and our treasure in order to make Jesus and his love known.  In everything we do, we should be seeking to give the world signs and foretastes of God's new creation. Let us pray: Heavenly Father, as we asked earlier in the collect we ask again for grace that to pass through the trials of this life without losing the things of eternal importance.  Remind us that the suffering we experience cannot begin to compare with the glory to be revealed to us.  Remind us always of the suffering that Jesus endured for our sake that in love and gratitude we might suffer too for the sake of making him known.  And as we think of Jesus' death and resurrection and as we live the life given by your Spirit, fill us with hope and faith, knowing that the glory inaugurated in us today will one day be fully accomplished in our own resurrection and the restoration of all your Creation.  Amen.

In this week's episode I feature Italian Brunch at Sciue Italian Bakery and Caffe in Yaletown. I feature Uncle's Snack Shop in Richmond. I talk about some of our upcoming tasting tours. I then profile Pittie Coffee on Main Street in Vancouver. Next, I will talk about my visit to Gibsons on the Sunshine Coast and some restaurants and such. Lastly, I will talk about my bucket list visit to Mayne Island.

In the spring of 2013, the Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia, Judith Guichon, visited Mayne Island. Brian was asked to organize events and escort her for the nine-hour tour of the island. Members of the community came together to create a very memorable time for her. This is Brian's story of that day, which he has titled, 'The Visit'.

Guest producers Sadie Couture and Russell Gendron explore the concept of invasive species through a look at a small island community, a species doing some serious damage to the ecosystem, and the complex issues at play when a plant or animal moves into a new territory. Sadie and Russell talk to current and former residents of Mayne Island, Indigenous elders, and conservation professionals to think through what it means to call something an “invasive species,” how to manage our ever-changing relationships to plants and animals, and how we might prepare for the certainty of change in the future.

Welcome to Hunting and Fishing BC, my podcast about fishing, hunting and other wild pursuits in British Columbia and western Canada. I'm Robert Koopmans and this week I'm back with Jeremy Jensen talking about first steps in bowhunting. Both of us have decided that this year will be the “Year of the Bow.” We've made a commitment to hunt only with a bow and not firearms, and we have set out to gain the skills and knowledge required before this year's fall hunting season. In this episode, Jeremy and I met up with Kevin Wood, another newbie to the world of archery and bowhunting. Kevin picked up a bow last fall and dove head-first into the sport. He's practised continually to develop his archery skills and learn the technical aspects of hunting with a bow.  A few weeks ago, he put it all together for a first-ever hunting trip to Mayne Island BC, where he and a friend chased fallow deer. This is a unique hunting opportunity in BC, one that allows hunters to pursue the introduced exotic all year-round. These deer escaped from a game farm years ago and are overpopulating the small island, which sits in the Strait of Georgia between Vancouver and Vancouver Island. Kevin had a great trip, and shared with Jeremy and I how it all went down … ***** Thanks for listening to this week's episode. If you want to share a thought, send me an email at info@theoutdoornarrative.com. I'm Robert Koopmans, thanks again, and we'll catch you next time.

In week four of the podcast Nick Gilchrist and Adam Olsen cover quite a bit of ground. They open the episode with a potential new theme song for the series and discuss a possible name other than just the current week. Listeners are encouraged to provide their ideas of possible names for the podcast. The labour disruption in School District #63 was finally sorted out last weekend and the kids are back in school. Adam provides a little context to the work that is still needed to ensure the district can compete to recruit and retain support staff. Both Nick and Adam went to the Barney Bentall & the Cariboo Express show at the Mary Winspear Centre. They discuss the quality of the music and the fundraising efforts.

Check out Matt Masters, Ridley Bent, Daniel Lapp, Dustin Bentall and Lorna Crozier. The conversation then turns to what a day, or week, is like in the legislature. Nick and Adam chat about question period and how partisan it is. In the end it's a long and winding conversation about the quality of our democracy and some ideas on how we can improve it.

Taylor Ashton comes from the idyllic community of Mayne Island, BC, where he met the other four-fifths of his band Fish & Bird. Just before taking their fourth album to England, Taylor made time to sit down with Travis and Derek for a two-part interview. In this, the second part of the interview, he tells us about about being a self-taught musician, how Fish & Bird became the collaborate five-piece it is today, the challenge of writing songs for multiple projects, and the problems with using the term "folk music" to describe the band, or to describe anybody's music.

Just before taking their fourth album to England, Taylor made time to sit down with Travis and Derek for a two-part interview. In part 1, they talk about busking, being inspired, striving to live up to your influences, whether songwriting can ever be truly honest, and using music to try to connect with people.

Gerhard's West Canada Euer Wegweiser den Westen Canadas für euch zu entdecken Mayne Island - Mayne Attraction  Begleitende Internetseite, Bilder und Kartenausschnitte www.gerhards-west-canada.de   In den bisherigen Folgen der Podcast-Serie Gerhard's West Canada hat man sich ganz British Columbia und den Südwesten der Nachbarprovinz Alberta erschlossen. Die Metropole Vancouver und die sie umgebenden Coast Mountains, auch die riesige Insel Vancouver Island hat man sich angesehen. Man ist quer durch den Süden Britisch Columbia's durch die Regionen Thompson, Okanagan, Kootenay und Cariboo Chilcotin Coast gekommen, man ist bis hinauf in den Norden Britisch Columbia's gelangt. Die atemberaubende Landschaft der Canadian Rocky Mountains Alberta's und British Columbia's hat man mit Begeisterung sich angesehen und kennengelernt. Man hat sich Gedanken gemacht über das Reisen mit dem Wohnmobil, sogar, was es bedeutet, seinen eigenen Camper in Kanada zu besitzen. Entdeckungsfahrten mit dem Kanu lassen einem die Regionen noch viel intensiver erleben. Befindet man sich etwas länger im Raum Victoria, im südlichsten Teil Vancouver Islands, ist es vielleicht für die einen oder anderen ein tolle Sache die hier vorgelagerten, doch reichlichen, eng beieinander liegenden Inseln näher kennenzulernen - vielleicht auf dem Wasser, wie in der vorangegangenen Folge oder die eine oder andere Insel direkt besuchen, so wie Galiano Island in Episode 54 oder die Nachbarinsel Mayne Island - Mayne Attraction Viel Vergnügen beim Zuhören, der Reiseplanung und natürlich dem Wichtigsten, der Reise selbst. Herzlichen Gruß Gerhard Ibl
