Time loops and folds in the waters and fjords of British Columbia’s Strait of Georgia.  As you turn into the deep channel of Desolation Sound – given it’s morose name by the dyspeptic Captain George Vancouver when he first explored the area in bad weather in 1792 – it is almost as if time ceases to exist.
