Weather: Sunny and warm!
After a peaceful sleep, we woke to a sunny day, had breakfast and went on an excursion. MM was kind enough to dinghy use over to Stamp's Landing. Kelly and I then walked along the south shore, Charleston Park, taking in the sights, seeing a kid's SUP and kayak class in tidal basin in Island Park.
We made our way through Sutcliffe Park, through the community center and then to the Grandville Island Market where strolled, shopped, downloaded a couple books for the Nook and IPad. We then lunched on fish and chips and gelato, while watching a couple of street shows. We then walked off island to a bike shop for a lock to secure the dinghy to the park docks. While Bug is engine-less, she rows easily and could easily have been a temptation without a good lock. We did not worry about this while in the relative wilderness. But back in civilization...well, best be secure, especially since we were going to spend a couple days here.
Back on the island, we were kinda pooped so we slow strolled through the market, picking up dinner and making our way to the water taxi. Took the taxi from Grandville Market to Stamp's Landing, signalling Freestyle on the way by for a pick up.
Back aboard with evening cocktails, caprese salad and fresh, hot, chunky, buttery cinnamon apple sauce for desert, we decided this one day in Vancouver was enough. Though we would have liked to get to Gastown and Robson Strasse (and the Indian food), it was time to head towards home.
