I slept in and had zero motivation. I could have left early and hooked up with Tom on his boat in Ganges Harbour but the tide was against me until 11:30 so,
fuck him. Instead I enjoyed coffee, bacon and eggs. Once the dishes were done, I pulled up anchor and headed for Ganges. I needed a few things at the store despite the fact that I would miss Tom.

On the way there, I hugged Pender Island after exiting Bedwell Harbour and was treated to an amazing nature program. Ravens, eagles, seals. Fish jumping, eagles hunting. Breathtaking really. Is that how you spell breathtaking? Looks weird.

Lunch at Oystercatcher Bar and Grill, Saltspring. Had their 'famous' clam chowder and a cold beer. After lunch I hit Thrifty Foods for a few essentials. Such as flour, eggs and breadcrumbs for my greatly anticipated oyster feed. Next stop is Ruxton Island.

Ganges Harbour has a lot of boats at anchor. Not a great harbour during a South wind. After grubbing up and taking on refreshments, I hopped back in Skully and was soon under way again. This time to my overnight destination, Galiano Island.
