This past week has been a blur. We left Victoria on Wednesday morning and headed for Galiano Island, which is one of the Gulf Islands. We actually were able to sail a good portion of the way, as the wind was fantastic. It was good to spend time re-learning how to sail. Montague Harbor, a bay at Galiano, was packed with over 100 boats. We anchored much closer to other boats than we preferred. Fortunately, there was very little wind all night, so we were able to sleep well.
The next day, we kayaked to shore and explored the Island. It has a beautiful park, with trails, a campground, and beaches where many children were playing. Cory's highlight of the day was taking the Hummingbird Pub Bus. The bus was very old, with a driver that was quick-witted and had everyone in fits of laughter. He changed hats at least three times during the drive and had all of the passengers singing "Blueberry Hill". As he said, he has been driving the bus for 16 years, but has only driven well for three weeks!
