Saltspring Island

Friday, with Camille on board, we departed Ladysmith and headed south.  Once again not much wind for sailing, and with a fair distance to cover we motored the whole way into Ganges Harbour on Saltspring Island.  We decided to stay in the main town marina, and were tied up around 4:00.  We quickly headed out for a quick walk,before the stores closed.  Sara and Camille went grocery shopping, while Emily and I played hide and seek with her stuffed animals in a nearby park.  Dinner on the boat, and an early bedtime for all.

The next morning I took Emily out for an early bike ride  and more hide & seek in the park, and then we met Sara and Camille at the Saltspring Saturday market.  We managed to find some great food and assorted trinkets to buy, and then I headed back to the boat, where I got the blog operational and wrote all the previous posts.  The girls did a bit more shopping, and we finally were ready to depart mid afternoon.

We finally had some wind, and got to put the sails up finally, for our trip over to Montague Harbour on Galiano Island.  We had hoped to find a public mooring ball to tie up to, but it seemed like they were all privately owned, so we dropped our anchor instead.  Emily and I tried jigging for a bit before dinner,  and later we went out for a quick dinghy ride in the rain, before bed time.
