I started my hike up Mount Douglas, hoping to spot the Canadian Navy vessel Raven 56. Navigating trails like Harrop and Power Lines, I reached Glendenning and checked my app, which confirmed the ship’s position. Unfortunately, the glare on the horizon made it impossible to see or photograph the vessel, so I changed plans and began my descent via Irvine Trail. Along the way, I took photos, reflected on my morning, and slipped on wet rock, reminding me of the challenges of downhill running. Despite missing the ship, I enjoyed the outing, recorded bird sounds, and saw it as another good experience for my podcasting journey.
