Still beautiful sunny weather so decided to get the ferry to Protection Island today. Popped in to see the eagles on the way but no sign of anyone. Lots of people on the ferry – many residents. Lovely as it is not sure I’d like to live there and have to depend on the ferry. Definitely not sure I’d like to depend on Paul ferrying me backwards and forwards if we lived there and had a boat! Had a lovely walk around the island and then a meal at the Dinghy Dock Pub – with a couple of beers as it was so hot!

Back to the Nanaimo for an iced latte, some shopping and home.Nanaimo marinaDinghy Dock pubHeronery but no herons – must have been out on a Playschool outingNot sure this is the best place for takeoffCrab trying to hide
