I finally bit the bullet and loaded the cushions on board. Sounds easy but it's a pain in the ass. First I had to load all the cushions into the van and hang my bike off the rack. Then I drove to Oak Bay Marina and left the van there while I bike to Cadboro Bay.

Next, I rowed out to T2 and motored over to the marina where I loaded the cushions onto a wheel barrow and took three trips to the gas dock. Fortunately Barnucka had just returned to his mooring at Oak Bay after being up on the beach at Cadboro Bay for the previous few nights, painting his bottom.

As he had left his car in Cadboro Bay and biked to Oak Bay (the opposite of what I had just done), I gave him my keys and he threw his bike on the van's rack and drove back to Cadboro Bay to get his car and leave the van in my usual spot.

See what I mean by a pain in the ass. Fortunately it only happens twice a year. Cushions on by May long weekend and cushions off shortly after Labor Day.+
