It was another squally day. We went for a walk out toward the point. We wore our rain gear, and it was a good thing, too. Not only was it great for breaking the wind (gale force again), but also keeping us dry. As I've mentioned, this is the land of change. One minute, it looks like this:

and the next, it looks like this (sort of):

That's not a good picture. It's too green, and you can still see too much detail. When a squall blows through, you can barely see anything. Of course, you get pretty wet pretty fast. But then the sun comes out, and the wind helps you to dry!

This place can match, if not outdo, Metchosin in several categories: views, prices, and wind.

It's a peninsula, surrounded by turquoise ocean on three sides with rolling green hills in the distance. There are gorgeous views in all directions.

It has been blowing since we got here. There may have been one day without strong or even gale force winds, but it seems that the wind howls all the time. Luckily, we're on the lee side of the ridge. However, when you go out for a walk, you're in the teeth of it.

House prices are staggering. There's a small lot up the road. Granted it has some good views, but $895,000 for 3/4 of an acre and no installed utilities?
