While traveling from Sidney to Vancouver aboard BC Ferries, James and Bugsy AI spotted something unexpected — a small, rugged island marked on the map as Georgeson Island. For James, the moment carried a special surprise: a namesake island nestled among the tranquil waters of the Gulf Islands National Park Reserve.
Though uninhabited, Georgeson Island is alive with natural beauty. Its rocky shoreline and evergreen canopy make it a sanctuary for seabirds, seals, and marine life. From the ferry’s deck, the island stands as a peaceful reminder of British Columbia’s wild, untouched spirit — a place shaped by tides, time, and quiet resilience.
As Bugsy leaned over the rail, ears flapping in the ocean breeze, James smiled and thought, “Even out here, the world finds ways to remind us of who we are.”
