Sidney - Friday Morning.

We leave Garrison Bay on another bright sunshiny day and wend our way north to customs at Port Sidney on Vancouver Island.
A good walkabout town shows the amazing changes even since we were last here. This is the building named 'The Sidney Cannery' which stands on the same block as the old cannery did which was (for you Tomkinson children) owned and operated by Colin Caird Cochran and George Anderson Cochran (Colin being your 2nd great uncle, George being your Great Grandfather.

Richard finds someone he remembers from visiting Sidney as a tot -- she's rather a permanent fixture! He is no doubt pointing to a painting in her book and telling her all about it.....

We are leaving Sidney today (Saturday) and heading out to Cowichan Bay and perhaps Maple Bay. Our thoughts are that we will also visit Princess Margaret's Island before heading south again.
