Sidney to Montague – 20160624 to 20160626

Deb finished work an hour early and took the bus to meet me in Sidney.  It was a beautiful afternoon so we steamed out into the channel but our wind died before we had a chance to get the sails up so we steamed all the way to Montague.

Montague is really starting to pick up and it was packed full of boats so we were lucky to get one of the last mooring buoys available.

We were both a little tired from a long week and there wasn’t much love in the evening so we turned in early.  Next day we went for a hike and enjoyed brunch on the patio at Montague Harbour.  The cafe there is running in full swing and everyone seemed to be rather relaxed in the summer heat.  Deb caught the ferry back to Victoria and I stuck around to relax, eat and drink on the patio.  Ah…  Life’s good…

There was a beautiful sunset that evening and I was located so that I could watch it drop down between a break in the trees where the lagoon is.  Absolutely breathtaking.

Next day I decided to head back to Sidney.  There was some nice wind so I was able to sail for a good part of it… always a bonus.
