Saturna Canada Day Weekend

So, another weekend, another getaway from the every day routine. Sara and I met up Saturday morning after she picked up her new camera phone. It's pretty sweet with a 2MP camera. I recently bought a new memory card for my phone so I was good to go and take a plethora of photos.


We took a small ferry to Galiano and then Mayne and then an almost as small ferry over to Saturna. My dad picked us up and we ate a late dinner at my parent's place. It turned out both my grandparents were over as my grandpa had come in from his sailboat. He's never missed a Canada Day on Saturna for the last 15 years.

The next day we woke up and headed out to the ball field at the other side of the island where the Canada Day Saturna Island Lamb BBQ always takes place. Here's a quick little panorama of it.

Here's a view of the fire where the lambs were cooked.


Here's a photo of the wooden training sailboat that decided to crash into the reef and may very well have leaked fuel into the ocean.

The next day Sara and I went for a walk to the General Store and the rec center. We also played Fluxx with my sisters and later poker with my brothers. It was a fun chill day.


On Tuesday we watched some home videos from 1986 and 1996 among other years and then Sara and I caught a couple ferries back to the mainland. It was a pretty good relaxing trip.



Next up is camping!
