Breakfast at the marina this morning.  Justin enjoyed fresh strawberries and blueberries on his waffles as well as eggs and bacon and scones.

We cast off just before 10 for a short two hour cruise

in calm waters to Ganges Harbour.

Along the way, C & J played with the vintage auto pilot.

And we raced the ferry – for about two seconds.

There are always interesting homes amongst the trees.

By about noon the wind had really picked up with gale warnings in the Straits of Georgia.  Huckleberry has learned to hang on to the table leg in the Chart Room when the going gets rough.

Soon we were anchored in Ganges Harbor with float planes and boats streaming in for the big three day weekend.

Once the anchor was secure we hopped in the dingy and rowed ashore for lunch at Moby’s Pub.  Such amazing food.  I had the Duck and Goat Cheese Salad

and Lauren had the Asian Albacore Tuna Bowl.

Ganges is an artist community with plenty of galleries to explore.  Check out this $18,000 teak table

and these amazing table tops

and these petrified wood sinks

and glass.

There were even pianos scattered around town in case you had the urge to play a happy tune.

As we rowed back to the boat we had to dodge more seaplanes.

See how close they are?

After such a big late lunch we settled on a lite dinner fare.

Then an evening puppy paddle to shore before bed.

And a lovely sunset to top off a wonderful day.
