Behind Old Guy's head is a little piece of Prevost Ispand. The water to his right is Tirincomalee Channel. The high island the ferry's wake is pointing at is Galliano Island and you can see where you turned out of Aactive Pass. The low-lying island to the right is Mayne Island and the little ferry is in the entrance to Plumper Sound. You were heading Southbound in Captain's Pass. I spent a couple of years knocking around in those islands (and many more) when I was doing my navigation training in the early 90s.
