The Wallace Island is one of the small but famous islands of the Gulf Islands. I stayed there in the first and last nights in this cruising. As the entrance of the cove faces towards west, we can see a spectacular sunset. The surface of the sea is like a mirror and reflects the sunset sky. The scenary is like a dream. This time of course I could enjoy the scenic beauty, but it was so beautiful that I forgot to take a picture of it. (This picture is the one which I took last summer.) I enjoyed changes of the colors of the sky and the sea. Even after it got dark about 10 pm, I could see numerous stars and some shooting stars. Moreover, I could also enjoy a number of luminous insects in the water, which glimmer like fireflies. As they give off lights reacting vibration, I was stirring the sea water for a long time in the midnight in the cove. I heard once that if we sail in the midnight and dolphins come near, their tracks glimmer like a path. I wish someday I could sea such a scenary.
