Then Shelagh had found a new little park for us to visit near Mill Bay. Mill Bay Nature Community Park is located just north of Mill Bay. At about 7.25 acres in size it's not a big park, but the views of the bay are amazing. There are some nice trails carved through the park and we sure found another great spot for picnics when the weather warms up. The pictures don't really do it justice but I think they'll give you an idea of the beauty here.
People leave these painted rocks in parks. It gets some folks all riled up, I don't see the harm in it.
On our way home Shelagh remembered the annual Maple Bay Rowing Club regatta was happening today on Quamichan Lake, so we went to have a look. These long narrow boats would keep me upright for all of about two seconds, and I would be in the water. The rowers were mostly teen-aged men and women and having a very good time on the water. The event is much larger than I imagined with many rowing clubs participating. By now we were hungry so we went to our local Vietnamese Mom and Pop shop for a couple of spicy beef Bahn Mi subs to go...
Another great day...
You do seem to be leading a very special and fun life. Keep it up.
ReplyDeleteYes we do Contessa. After leaving the lower mainland I feel that we have landed in paradise!
DeleteWhat a nice new park to explore and do love those local markets with lots a interesting foods. Thos boats are quite amazing to watch too.
ReplyDeleteThe Saturday market is on our permanent weekly to do list, even if we don't need anything it's still a great way to people watch. There are so many nice little parks along the coast here the supply seems endless. And it was a fun time at the regatta.
