We just finished our coffee in Cowichan Bay and were about to head out for a morning jog along the roadways of Cowichan when the rain began this morning.
Instead, we showered and headed slowly to Maple Bay in the rain, only 10 miles north on Vancouver Island. Our long-time (30 years) friends George and Marlene have a lovely home on the bay. They picked us up at Maple Bay Marina and took us to their place for a delicious lunch and 3 hour visit. We saw them under similar circumstances while boating in this area last summer, and it was good to catch up with them again.
By the time we left Maple Bay, the rain abated and we traveled 13 miles northeast to Thetis Island, a place we spent several days last summer and enjoyed. We had dinner at the Pub at Thetis Island Marina, a delicious lamb burger.
Temperatures remain mild despite the clouds, and the weather forecast for the rest of the week says the sun will return. We’re happy and having fun. Life on the water is good.
