Georgia Strait – [pre-production]

From Wikipedia:

The Strait of Georgia (also known as Georgia Strait and the Gulf of Georgia) is a 240 km (150 mi)-long strait between Vancouver Island (as well as its nearby Gulf Islands) and the mainland Pacific coast of British Columbia, Canada. The southern end of the strait is the intersection of Puget Sound and the Strait of Juan de Fuca, while the northern end is Johnstone Strait.

I first visited my good friends Rob and Trish in Gibsons, British Columbia over Christmas of 2003. They had just quit their jobs and moved out there. My first views of Georgia Strait were on the ferry between Horseshoe Bay and Gibsons. I was immediately taken by the beauty of the mountains and the ocean and the Strait of Georgia has never left my thoughts since.

Georgia Strait voices my longing for the Sunshine Coast of B.C. I’d love nothing better than to be composing music with a view of the mountains and the ocean outside my window.
