August 6 ~ Sidney, B.C.

On Aug. 6^th, we got underway to go anchor in Cordova Bay in front of Marty’s parent's place. It was a great start with the winds picking up and we were able to set sail. Unfortunately, after halfway, the winds began to build to 20 knot Southeasters which was not great for where we wanted to anchor. Cordova Bay has a sandy bottom. The southeaster would have caused us to drag anchor and run ashore. So, we made the decision to turn around. Fortunately, Port Sidney Marina was able to fit us in again. We didn’t want to take the chance to get to Cordova Bay and then have to turn right back and this would not have given us the time to have dinner at Marty’s parent's place. It was a good evening with his parents and, Cindy and Vicky too.
