In what will likely be my last cruise before I remove the chushions for the Winter, I dropped by Oak Bay Marina to fuel up and take on water. I met Barnucka on Inkla and we motored to Sidney Spit.

We were lucky enough to enjoy fresh caught  crab the first night, and I cooked up some bar-b-que'd hamburgers for dinner. Delish! I send him to his own boat after he accidentally pulled the hatch off the companionway and ended up on his ass in the cockpit. TWICE!

I picked up some beach bark for the fire and after starting with half of an Enviro-Log, firelog; I burned the beach bark for a very toasty evening.

The next day, I picked up Barnucka just before noon and we went for a thoroughly enjoyable walk through the forrest to the park boundary and back. B left on the flood that afternoon around 4, and after ready a submarine novel for a while, I returned to the beach for an evening walk.

The next morning I was up at 07:00 to make coffee and have some breakfast before heading to Port of Sidney to pick up Gina for a day at the Spit. I could hardly believe my eyes when I opened the companionway and got a look at the thick fog that had settled in overnight. I had anchored a hundred feet from the beach and I couldn't see it.

The fog burned off before I had finished my first cup of coffee and soon I was on my way. Gina and I had a nice visit with a beach walk before lunch and a forrest walk after. During our stroll through the forrest, we noticed an owl in flight which landed on a branch and stared at us. We enjoyed a lunch of bar-b-que'd Thai chicken skewers and a house (er boat) salad.
