About 8:45 we saw the canoe carrying the torch round the corner.
A few other pics and video to check out:

We parked just past the museum so we could get out ahead of the relay on the road to Queen Charlotte City. In Charlotte was hot chocolate, muffins and very cool bottles of Coke (according to the boys). It was a more structured event with speeches, Olympic 'soundtrack' music, and sponsor tents. Of course, the boys needed a feeding so we stopped at our favorite burger joint. A pic of the starving kids (I had a truckload of boys):
Then a photo op at Balance Rock. No doubt the coolest rock around. Just awesome that the storms can not get this rock rock to budge and roll over!
And a Halloween pic for good measure. J did not dress up this year, but D was right into it with his crew.

How cool is that! Much more interesting to have the torch arrive by canoe, than just running down the street. "Island time" must be similar to what we used to call "Errington time", which means "whenever we are ready to get started, or whenever everyone arrives".
Island Time is exactly that and a bit more... throw some wild weather into the mix and it totally changes the planned 'schedule'.
