Today has topped off 2 days of just incredible proportions!

The photos are not in order and don't tell a story - so here goes.

Early - early - meet at Vancouver City end of Howe Sound ... and get into a very fast boat (Zodiac)... it's so chilly that we wear these bright orange and VERY thick outfits ... that actually bearly keep out the chill!

On way to the Furry Creek golf course, we meet seals and sea-lions! Very cute indeed!

Arrive at Furry Creek where we play the 14th & 18th holes ... quite successfully mind you! The course is very well kept ... and the views from some of the holes are just sensational. The "sea to tee" experience is very good indeed!

Drive to Squamish ... and hook up with Glacier Air - the local helicopter service. There's a pup to greet me - Trouble - who is just lovely! The pilot is Ben Hawkins - who I met in 2000 when I filmed in Whistler! Small world...

We fly upto a glacier ... and have a picnic. We drink red ice-wine and eat lovely food prepared by the hotel! Then we fly back.

OK - so I am being a wee blase BUT I have to admit that the last 2 days have been amongst the most amazing of my life ... whales, seals, sea-otters, pups, golf ... and a glacier picnic! THANK YOU Jill, Tom, Tim & James! Awesome!
