May 3,2008 -Saturday foray to Galiano Island is back on, (there is no triatholon on the island that day). No car required, we’re walking on and walking off the ferry. We meet on the ferry leaving Tsawwassen at 8:35am, arriving at Galiano at 9:30am. If you don’t see us on the ferry, we will wait just up the hill from the ferry dock under the big trees, until everyone is off the ferry. This is a full day foray. There is only one ferry each way that day.
This is an easy hike to the Bluffs and back, moving at a slowish rate to look at all the fungi and such. If some folks are interested in hiking on to Mt. Galiano (or elsewhere), you can get together in a sub-group to continue on that way, but do make sure you know the route there and back.
Bring water and food, (we'll aim to have lunch on the Bluffs), or there are stores and restaurants near the ferry on Galiano. Ferry fare is $13.75 one way. Wear good walking shoes, and clothing for unpredictable spring weather. If we are back near the ferry early enough before the ferry leaves, we’ll be at a cafe to have some food and refreshment (likely the Grand Central). Return ferry leaves Galiano at 5:40pm and arrives at Tsawwassen at 6:35pm.

Please look at ferry schedules yourself to confirm departure times.
If you miss the ferry there are lots of bed and breakfasts on Galiano
