To Cadboro Bay on Vancouver Island

Relaxing on the afterdeck enjoying the sunset at Sidney Spit, we had a visitor come join us. He wasn't easily shooed away so we just let him sit there and squawk at us - obviously he had something on his mind.....
We left Sidney Spit in the morning under beautiful sunny skies -- a half hour later we were in the fog soup. Here's Darcy Island looking as eerie as its past. It was a leper colony in the 1800's - primarily inhabited by Chinese immigrants. When the whites started coming down with the dreaded disease, they moved the Chinese to Little Darcy - a separate island - so as not to mix the two. And, that is the way it was in those days - thankfully gone. We didn't anchor at Darcy for lunch as planned since the bay looked extremely unappealing - rocks everywhere.

The view from the bow of the boat shows you that we were socked in with fog all the way to Cadboro Bay. Thank heavens for an experienced skipper, electronic charts & GPS and the radar officer (me). We arrived safe and sound in Cadboro Bay and amazingly they were having a sailboat race!
The fog did lift and we dinghed to the beach and took a walk to town.
