OK, it got a little windy last night and the boat she was a rockin'. Not too bad, nothing that made us want to move, but Queen Bella was a little unhappy. The wind calmed down again around 5:00am and everyone went back to a good sleep.
Spent the morning on the boat on computers and futzing around. The weather was clear and sunny. Had some lunch. Then Ocean Flyer came over and picked us up and we went for a dingy cruise. Headed over to the park in Winter Cove and went for a walk over to Boat Passage. The tide was certainly still coming down because the current running out into the Straight was huge! Quite windy on this side too.
A nice walk around and we came back to our boats and then sun was shining and the wind laid down so it was time to soak up some rays while the getting was good! Here's proof:
OF picked us up for the "long walk" up to the cafe for dinner. Google maps said it was 1.7km or 1 mile each direction. Course it's uphill getting there! It went by very quickly and we were about 20 mins early for our 6:45 reservation, but they said they could accommodate us and off we went in for dinner. There were 3 appetizer choices, 2 dinner choices, and 1 dessert choice. But it all looked really good!! There was only 1 waitress and she was run off her feet as the place was full up (even with Prawn Fest!). Linen table clothes and bottled water on the table and a really cozy atmosphere. Lamb (the island specialty) for B&K and Cioppino for G&J. Good beer, good wine, and excellent chocolate mousse for dessert made for a lovely evening.
