– Roche Harbor
Roche was bustling, and quaint, as always. The town’s gardens, pots and hanging baskets were absolutely exquisite …
We wandered through the little market and the beautiful
arbor- covered garden ….
Dappled shade on moms and daughters ....
Pig War Martini’s were in order …. Complete
with little plastic pigs. These are name
after the Pig War in 1859 that took place between the Americans and the British
that both inhabited the island at one time.
The war got started because someone shot the other’s pig …. seriously ....
Boys will
find ANYTHING to fight over, won’t they ??
The
result ??
No
human casualties … lots of bacon …. And THESE
beauties ….. (the drinks, not the ladies) …
… a few more pigs for Cam Cleveland’s collection !!
Holly and Su did a little kayaking and paddle-boarding in
the bay …..
FABULOUS steaks from
Holly and Su’s favorite butcher (Market Meats on W4th) were on the docket for dinner ….. (and we
can vouch for their lemon marinated chicken too. It is “to die for” …. )
The next morning, we head back into Canada and Poet’s
Cove. The autopilot has been reset and
is not behaving. Cam’s solution, at this
point, is to “rip the f’king thing out and replace it”.
So much for THAT birthday idea ….

Poet’s Cove
Poet’s Cove was not as busy as we’ve seen it in previous
visits. We cleared customs at the dock
in the harbor (no problems & not the same SILLY rules we had going into the
US ….) … then headed to our slip, where we were met by
the local welcoming committee …..
Daisy got LOTS of runs on the beach and she LOVED that ….
Another spectacular sunset ….. and another stunning view
from our “back door” …..
