Monday Aug 18th – The weather forecast
said 81 degrees today so we decided to deviate from our plans and head for
Otter Bay Marina where they "have a pool and everything". 8:15am we left the Thetis Island Docks hoping
we could make a layover along the way at Wallace Island.
Wallace Island is one of our favorite places in the
Gulf Islands and they even have wild kangaroos on the island! Well, at least Julie thinks they do. Last year she was scared by a deer she was
convinced was a kangaroo. As we
approached Conover Cove on Wallace Island it looked like there was some dock
space available. That almost never
happens here so we were excited to tie up for a couple hours. We did a fun hike we’ve never done before out
to a couple points at the south end of the island.
Time to keep going, so we cast off for the 2nd
half of our voyage to Otter Bay. Once tied up in Otter Bay – 2:55pm 19.38nm -
we questioned our decision to make a run for the pool because the so called
81 degree forecast was only turning out to be high 60’s. Oh well, to the pool we went. Ava spent and hour pouting because there were
a couple people in the pool while Skylar nicely begged her to get in the whole
time. I didn’t blame her much - the
water was freezing but she finally succumbed to Skylar’s begging - got in and
played for a while just before it was time to leave. So much for this pool idea! At lease we were able to stock up on some
food from their grocery store and get some much needed ice cream!
