Last stop before home

Cabbage Island.

One of Jim’s favourite spots in the Gulf Island. Cabbage Island is part of the Gulf Island National Park Reserve.

There are 10 mooring balls and five camping spots on shore for tents.

The weather was beautiful and the winds were calm. We only stayed one night but we took the skiff to shore and went for a couple of walks around Cabbage Island. There is another island there called Tumbo Island that has a longer walk we have also done in years past.

Out for a ride n the skiff. What a beautiful day !

We left Cabbage Island around 1 pm to catch the ride going up the Fraser River. Instead of our usual beating against the tide going down the Fraser River ! We got back to home dock around 4:15 pm. We were just zooming along over 8-9 knots most of the way. The Strait of Georgia was flat calm – which is a bonus ! I can’t tell you how many times we’ve been out there in 25 knots and rolling and sloshing along !

Back home to Steveston
Dinner ! Finally some great pizza !
