I took the day off and planned to go sailing and then spend the night on Trouper 2. Tania suggested we could meet up at Finnerty Cove so the kids could have breakfast on the boat and play at the beach. So, first thing in the morning I rode my bike to the compound at Gyro Beach and was soon on my way to Finnerty Cove. I was fighting the tide so it took me just over an hour. The kids went nuts when they saw Trouper 2 pull into the cove. "Ahoy Captain", they shouted!
We enjoyed bacon and eggs before jumping in Skully and taking off for the beach at Paul's Terrace. Tania stayed behind for some much needed rest. After much frolicking we returned to T2 and had a pirate's lunch of wieners and beans. Yum. After lunch I dropped the family off on the beach before returning to Trouper 2 and continuing on to Van Isle Marina for fuel, water and ice. Tania wanted to go over to Saltspring for a couple of days to check out schools for the kids. So, we thought I'd take the boat over and we could sleep on her overnight.
