No Oklahoma, But Chamber Music

Gatherers, Hastings House Sculpture Trail

Provincial Flags at Sunset, Otter Bay

The Cut, canal between Thetis Island and Kuper Island that dries at low tide

Back again to Telegraph Harbour where there are oysters on the rocks at low tide. We really wanted to see Oklahoma being presented in Chemainus. Both the matinee and evening performances were sold out. Henry was able to get a meatlovers pizza from the Marina soda fountain, though. We spent the evening there talking politics with Lou from Las Vegas, who visited us from his 53-foot motor boat.

On south to Otter Bay and its beautiful swimming pool, welcome on a hot day. Then to Ganges.

For more than twenty years, a small group of sailors has met for a "national" cruise. We all began to sail in these waters with 20-foot long Ranger sailboats. The boats are small, but very forgiving, and we believe they are unsinkable. During the last ten years most of us have found other larger boats, mostly sailboats, and we still meet every year for a cruise. Last night we dined again in Ganges with our long-time friends and we'll be with them for the next week. Tonight we meet for an Italian dinner out at Auntie Pesto's, then a performance of chamber music by the University of Toronto Conservatory faculty. I'll be replaying that music in my mind all night and all day tomorrow.
