On Aug. 7th, we left Sidney in the rain…. Wow! RAIN! This was the first rain fall we have experienced since the second day of our trip on July 3rd. Getting to Cabbage Island was wild, as we had to get around a huge rip tide. At one point, we were going backwards. We did however arrive at Cabbage Island, north of Saturna Island. This was a neat place and would have been even nicer if it was sunny. We had all our rain gear hanging and dripping in our boat.
We went ashore later in the evening, to explore Cabbage Island. It was so small that we walked completely around it. Mae had said, ”This island must be too small for a deer.” After we walked most of the way around, Marty stopped Mae on the track and turned her head towards a three year old buck. The buck had no fear of us and kept on munching.
There were also good oysters here. They even had pearls in them!
