June 29, 2014 – Garden Bay, Pender Harbor

We met up with Cam and Nancy Cleveland on IMPULSIVE at Garden Bay …. 

A beautiful RVYC outstation.  

After hitting the pub deck for live jazz and a late lunch, we kayak’d, paddleboarded and dingy’d around the bay, doing a little exploring.

  

Holly filled up the paddleboard ...

And I got to give it a go .... knees to standing !!!

The “twin overhead CAM” rescue team had to be called in to rescue Holly and I on the kayaks as we got into a little bay with a wicked current and could not paddle our way out…. 

Thankfully they were able to find us and drag us back to calmer water.

  

A couple of young avid fishermen on the dock were lamenting that they had forgotten their fillet knife so I offered them the use of my Grandpa Berg's knife ... and they offered us one of their fish !! 

We traded a dozen Stella and a bottle of nice red wine and we had ourselves a delicious salmon dinner plus some fillets for the freezer !! ... and everyone was happy !!!

The next morning, Cam and I went for an early morning walk up to beautiful Garden Bay Lake .....

Then off to Egmont and the start of Princess Louisa Inlet & Chatterbox Falls .....
