We departed Ganges on Sunday, Mother's Day at 11 AM after making the calls to both of our Mothers and awaiting the calls from our own children: Kim, Andrew and Jim! Good thing we did not wait too long because the calls never came till late in the day, when we no longer had cell phone coverage .... bad little kiddies:(
Local Tai Chi Club practicing on the Ganges DockWe had an easy cruise over to Galiano Island to the BC Marine Park at Montague Harbour.
As we were entering the waters between Parker Island and Phillimore Point we spotted a Willard Voyager at a private dock. We circled and spoke briefly to the owners who advised they were from Ladysmith.

Willard 30 VoyagerIt is not often we see a Willard, let alone the same model as Kozad!
Mother's Day on Galiano Island
We spent the night on a mooring buoy in Montague Harbour!We like spending time here hiking and enjoying the shell beaches!
We have been lucky viewing wild life on our cruises!This trip we watched an otter fishing and feeding off the beaches North of Montague.
Departing after an early morning hike, we cruised up to and through Gabriola Passage timing our arrival for slack tide.
Along the way we saw a Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) Hovercraft;this is the first time we have seen one of these vessels patrolling
Jan pleased to be back on Kozad!

Kozad and Ciao Bella (Beautiful Hello/Goodbye)This beautiful 31' Sailboat is owned by Terry & Ted.
We met them first on Ganges and hope to meet up later on this cruise.
They are from Friday Harbour and we plan on a visit in June at their home!
Our Silva Bay visit was to meet with Mary, Jules and Julia from HalifaxJules' sister Louise hosted their visit at a beautiful home on Gabriola.
Jules and Craig relaxing on the deck taking in the Strait of Georgia!
We went for a beautiful walk along the Drumbeg Provincial ParkThis is the view of Gabriola Passage where we came through with Kozad.
The beaches have wonderful carved sandstone motifs!
