Getting the prawn traps ready for a soak
Sunset at SYC Outstation, Garden Bay, Pender Harbour
Nanaimo sunset from Flying Colours moored at Cameron Island. For some reason the sunsets over Vancouver Island this summer have been spectacular – almost as if there’s been a volcano eruption somewhere west of us.

ZuZu was quite interested in our one prawn catch – but wasn’t sure what it was.

Two Fleming 55s, nose to nose on the dock at Refuge Cove. The Andante, at left, is owned by Robin Gainey of Seattle. She departed on the afternoon Kenmore Air flight to Seattle and is leaving Andante at Refuge Cove for two weeks while she returns home.
