One of the pleasures of the Pacific Northwest Coast is the great protected boating waters offered by same. The U.S. San Juan Islands between Puget Sound and Haro Strait seem to flow effortlessly into the Southern Canadian Gulf Islands, nestled in the lee of the huge Vancouver Island.    This photo is from a dock on the west side of Salt Spring Island, looking back to the Vancouver Island mountains, where the Malahat Drive extends from Victoria up to the Cowichan Valley.    Tranquil Saanich Inlet folds away to this background hill.

Luxury....lots of meanings....

Sep 26, 2010 — Liane ("Li") Read, Sea to Sky Real Estate

Does luxury mean an architect designed oceanside recreational home?    With dock?    Maybe! It might also mean marble floors, spa style bathrooms, staff quarters, pool pavilions, 10,000 sq. ft. of spectacular finishes and appointments, with dramatic mountain vistas beyond every window. It might even mean a large acreage, a preserve, where old growth forest has been retained, and pristine lakes secured.
