Yesterday we took the girls to the sea shell gathering beach at low tide. Found some moon shells & other pretty shells - we'll bleach them in a pail to get rid of the sea odor & clean them up & then the girls can decide which ones they want to keep. There also are a lot of beautiful sea stars there so the girls collected them & Heather took pictures. Dylan was out for a kayak ride so he didn't go with us. We borrowed Jon's dinghy as it's bigger/roomier & handles better on the crossing if it's windy (which it wasn't).
The Silhans came back to Prideaux Haven so we had a chance to visit a little with them.
Then back to the raft for an appetizer dinner: oysters, clams, shrimp/sausage skewers, smaller shrimp on cream cheese with cocktail sauce, veggies, brie cheese & crackers & then an apple-rhubarb-blueberry pie with black cherry ice cream!
Today started early with a coffee get together on Jon's boat while Heather et al were still in bed or relaxing. My new found cousins left around 9:00 to head back on their fishing boat to Lund & then Pender Harbor where they leave their boat.
Our plan today was to hang out here for awhile & then leave for Rebecca Spit for a couple of days. Heather & Dylan went for a long kayak ride & then we left for our new place after lunch & goodbyes to Maggie, Lois & Jon. It took about 3 hours to get there & anchor. There were lots of logs in the water along the way & the water in front of Rebecca Spit is covered with logs because there have been very high tides the last few days. We went to a great restaurant by dinghy - we went there last year too.
