August 19 was a day, we were vacuuming, sweeping, washing the boat and doing laundry. We also had to replace our water pump. While Marty was removing the old pump, he noticed a furry problem that didn’t help working in small tight places. He didn’t need the extra paws.
Inside the Quarterdeck Marina, there were thousands of pinks swimming and jumping. A lot of people came to the dock to fish. The pinks are waiting to go up the creek; however, the water level has been too low for them to swim up.
After shopping and sight seeing, Mae used her trout rod while Marty played with his fly rod. Marty was more successful and caught and released a few pinks. We love pinks but had dinner plans already.
August 20th was a difficult day, as we could not find Sugar when we woke up. Normally, she would stay close to the boat but that day she did not. We spent the day looking and calling her. The staff at the Quarterdeck Marina were very helpful, especially, Lisa, the manager, who made and posted posters around the marina. She even called businesses on both sides of the marina. Many people were keeping an eye out for Sugar. Even our friend Lindsay from Nanaimo saw the poster when she was in town for work and she went looking.
