I had planned today as a test commute, and documented it in a thread here:

Today I’m doing a test commute from #BowenIsland to @z-space.ca Started at 7:03am at my parents place on Foxglove lane. Across the road and along the forest path that comes out on Cardena road. At the ferry dock by 7:13am.

A 4 unit strata that looks like a house looking back from across Miller Road. The Crippen Park trail from the fish ladder to Snug Cove. Ferry coming in to Snug Cove, Bowen Island Marina in the foreground.

TLDR with perfect timing it’s about 1.5 hours door to door. That’s ferry and bus time with a very short walk to the ferry (~10min max) and then like half a block on the office side.

It was great to see everyone back at Z-Space.

I have a printer next to my desk that needs to get setup, but was decorated as “printer Boris” while I was gone.

I also returned with a solar powered Meshtastic repeater to install on my parents deck that got dropped off while I was traveling.

Heading back home to East Van tomorrow, will get in another lake walk before we go.
