Perry and Paula, friends of ours from Newfoundland, arrived in Victoria on March 24th after a long trip across the country.  During their crossing their flights were delayed, cancelled and rebooked and after more than 24 hours they finally arrived via ferry (long story) at Swartz Bay.  Surprisingly they were both chipper and looked no worst for the wear…  and even stayed up late to drink with us the evening they arrived!  Not sure how they were able to stay up.  They took in a few sights of Victoria and we made plans for an outing on Treylya.

We provisioned Treylya and headed over to Genoa Bay for easter weekend.  It was a blast.  Lot’s of drinking, hiking and laughs.

Genoa Bay is a beautiful little bay with great hiking and views.  One of the main attractions is the restaurant which we enjoyed several nice meals during the weekend.  One of the main reasons we like eating at the restaurant is because of the host, Gordon, who makes you feel welcome with his friendly greeting and warm and funny personality.  Gordon treated us to an evening of fun and laughs and joined us for a drink at the end of the evening.

We woke early Monday morning and enjoyed a nice sail back to Sidney.
