A week on the tail end of spring, to return to the islands. I pick Saturna! I realise that getting two buses from downtown that connect to Tsawwassen ferries that go directly to Saturna just don't want to match up, even if I were willing to be up at 4am. I'm eager to get this show on the road, so I'll pick Galiano as the gateway to the southern Gulf islands and get a transferring ferry from there.
