Whale Watching in Cowichan Bay

Jan coming to visit from Ontario

Taking the ferry to Salt Spring Island

Salt Spring Island is a simple day trip from the Island Estuary – a 20 minute ride will get you to the ferry which is another 20 minute crossing.  Janice (Lynda’s sister) and her friend Shelley came for a mini-vacation and explored some of the beautiful islands to visit wineries, artisans, markets and hiking trails.

Getting geared up for whale watching

Eco Adventure Tours is a great place to take a whale watching tour aboard a zodiac.  We were so fortunate to see over 50 orca whales on our trip.  They are absolutely magnificent to observe as they swim, play, tail and breach.   After our adventure, we were ready for a simple meal of roasted tomato and garlic bruschetta, potato salad and Lynda’s famous Greek Ribs.  Rumour has it she beat out her long time opponent John Thompson from St. John’s Newfoundland!!
