We left Cowichan with another stellar day of sunshine! We've been lathering ourselves with what Dad calls 50 weight sunblock and so far we've avoided any burns. The winds have been fair today and we've spent a lot of time gunkholing on our way south. The huge house in this picture is the Duke of Sutherland's estate near Duncan, B.C.We cruised the various bays on around Princess Margaret Island now called Portland Island. The province gave her the island as a gift when she lasted visited B.C. and she in turn gave it back to the province to be a marine park. Dad found an adventurous little bay to tuck into for the afternoon and we enjoyed watching all the marine traffic go by. It wasn't a good place for the night so after dinner, we went over to Moresby Island and tucked into another of those 1 boat bays we love so well. Here's the sunset!
As we head over to Sidney Spit the next morning we pass by the Brethour Island of our family connection. Thar being many rocks on the north end we swing round to the end and pass between Domville and Brethour and "surf" to the spit at 11 Knots at one point - helped by 3knot current in both directions. Dad was grinning.
