It was another sunny day today, but still quite cool. We had a quiet morning on the boat, catching up on email, Blog's etc. We had planned previously to have lunch with David and Jennifer, the previous owners of Fishermans Resort in Pender Harbour, at their house. So we dinghied over to Whiskey Slough and the public dock where Dave picked us all up in his truck. They had graciously said that it was no problem bringing Bella over to the house too. When we arrived at the top of the ramp, there was a small beat up van there with this logo on the front hood. Nice!

We had a fantastic lunch with Dave and Jennifer. They have a beautiful home with stunning views of Malaspina Straight. (Now we know who to call when we need a weather report!). They have had an abundance of company lately, and so apparently they have an abundance of really good cheese for entertaining! So we helped them out.



After lunch, we we made the short walk down to their local beach and just took in the ambience. It warmed up considerably and was a wonderful warm and sunny day. Afterwards, we went back to the house and toured the garden a bit and then had some dessert and did some more visiting. It was quite late by the time Dave took us back to the dock.

After such a decadent day, we decided that we really didn't want to cook and wanted something light for dinner. So we called Lavernes to make sure that they would be open. And then she surprised us by saying she was fully booked up and couldn't take anyone else! How's that? We thought it was the Squim Yacht Club who was also on the docks, but it wasn't and they had gone up there for dinner at 4:45pm. John Henry's restaurant is now closed on Tuesday's and Wednesday's, so that wasn't an option either. I guess we were feeling a bit lazy and didn't want to go to Garden Bay, so we just did a quick pasta and prawn meal on Spellbound. It was a nice warm evening and the end of a great day.
