Richard -- taking the Airs at Silva Bay, Gabriola with his beloved Maple Leaf flying near-by.
Happy Father's Day to all you Dads out there!
We've had a great few days crusing the Gulf Islands. From Newcastle on Thursday we headed up to Silva Bay on Gabriola and had time for walks, showers and a relaxing evening. The boys have been great in spite of the small quarters on the boat.
Am I cool or what?
This is Grandma's favorite past time!
Paul and I wanted to ply the waters for the elusive salmon so out we headed to the lumpy east side of Gabriola. After some rockin' and rollin' we decided to head inside to the Gabriola reefs and were rewarded for our trolling -- We had two hits and the second was a keeper -- a beautiful Blue Ling Cod caught by Paul. We enjoyed a celebratory dinner of the sweet tasty fish in the beautiful Pirates Cove Marine Park off Decourcy Island.
... boy was it tasty!
Next day being Saturday, it was off to the Gabriola Market in Ganges and a 3 hour cruise starting at 6:00 a.m. to make the most of our day. We bought some of the great stone oven bread (again), meandered with the boys through the market and had a great play in the park.
Grandma and her boys "horsing" around....
Of course, we stopped at Glad's for ice cream!
Mmmm good!
Tried our rods in the water again off the hook on Galliano but not luck. So, we made our way through the ditch between Kuper and Thetis to settle in for the evening -- to the accompanyment of the rock band at the bar -- who said boating was a quiet pleasure??
We're off again today to try to find the fishes and perhaps go in to Chemanis to see the famous murals.
The weather is SUNNY! Yeah!
