Our road trip started on Friday September 2nd and we (Laverne, Maria and I) caught the first ferry to the island. This meant starting to get up at 6am to catch the ferry at 8:10am. The crossing was smooth as silk. Once on the Island we headed south on the old highway where at Fanny Bay we visited with Nonie, Laverne's sister, and her husband, Chris. They rented a cabin on the beach. They live in Calgary, but are considering retiring to Vancouver Island. It would be great to have them close by.
We then went back up Island to Campbell River where we caught the ferry to Quadra Island. We had a one sailing wait so ate lunch in the lineup. After the ferry trip and and a drive across Quadra we again had a one sailing wait for the Cortes Island ferry. While we waited we had dessert courtesy of the blackberry bushes beside the road. After crossing to Cortes Island we drove across the island to the Cortes Island Motel and so to bed.
Yes I have pictures but my computer is having issues so stay tuned.
