It was somewhat clearer skies this morning and a bit warmer too. The place cleared out it seemed with a lot of boats heading south so we were all alone at our end of the dock. Sue sent email and postponed our future reservations by one day.

Byron and Greg took off in the dinghy to conquer the fish again. Byron caught a pink, but ended up releasing it as it wasn't that big. They did pull in a bunch of more prawns though. We saved some for dinner this time! It was early afternoon before they got back so we had a quick bite. I worked on figuring out what to bring to Happy Hour since we were a little light on provisions. Ended up with a Crab Artichoke Dip that turned out pretty good!

Had more ice cream and did some dock visiting and bought the Lagoon Cove cookbook. (It does seem to have boat friendly recipes for when you run out of fresh veggies and just have canned stores). The day turned quite warm later one and I even put on a short sleeved shirt. (Sad when that is noteworthy).

At Happy Hour, we sat with another couple from Bellingham, Steve and Sherry on Tahsis, a North Pacific. They had added the "rolling chocks" to their boat earlier this year which Byron and Sue are thinking of adding, so we had a long talk about that. Then they mentioned that they were having trouble with their batteries, so of course we had a long talk about that. And then Sherry mentioned that her son was volunteering with a manta organization, so of course we had to have a long talk about that too! Lot's of talking ensued and continued even after Happy Hour as we headed over to EG for dinner. After pigging out on prawns for Happy Hour the last 2 days, we all went a little lighter at Happy Hour (sort of) and so we saved room for prawn taco's for dinner! Yummy.
