Columbia Cove
We spent the entire day today at the beach. The weather couldn't have been nicer. Although today there were a number of other beachgoers who, while not making it crowded, made it something less than deserted so we weren't able to go au naturel.
We started out the day doing a little beachcombing. I wanted to find a piece of fishing net and we're always on the lookout for a glass fishing float. There are dozens of fishing floats on this beach but they're made of anything but glass (plastic mostly, but also foam, and even aluminum!). Having found a nice piece of fish net we set about spending the rest of the day sitting in a hammock which was also made from fishing net washed up on the beach. Someone had made the hammock, a picnic table, and benches all out of things found among the driftwood. The only thing missing is a Deposito (for buying a cold six pack of Corona).
Strangely enough we're leaving tomorrow to go to the Bunsby Islands. We both say we should have stayed here an entire week but time is ticking by and we want to see more of the west coast before we leave Canada. The Bunsbys are supposed to be home to many sea otters, some of which have been re-released to the wild, so we're hoping for a different kind of entertainment.
