Very windy.
After much consultation among captains, checking wind apps and weather channels, and talking with other boaters, we decided the time to cross the Straight of Georgia is Friday morning. This impacts our itinery. (It means 3 nights at Union Steamboat rather than 1.)
There are pros and cons, of course. We all agree that having a couple days in one spot is nice...and Snug Cove on Bowen Island is definitely the place to get "stuck." Some good shops and eateries as well as a few walking/hiking trails. (The steep climb to Dorman Point was worth it.) However, we won't make it to all our planned destinations on this trip. (Heaven forbid we don't make it back to work on Monday!)
We had a very nice meal yesterday evening at the Tuscany restaurant up the road, with the group. Today we hopped aboard the ferry to Horseshoe Bay, just a couple of miles away. Not much there so we caught the next ferry back and lunched at the pub up the hill. It was a good diversion. My photos capture the long views up and down the straight...and some of the wind.
We are back on Europa for a quiet afternoon at the dock...in the sun...and the gusts. The sailboat wires are humming and clanking.
