Hornby Island

Well - it looks like a whole month went by without any windsurfing. We headed out to Vancouver Island for a few weeks of Windsurfing at Nitinat Lake. Unfortunately the weather hasn't cooperated. We stayed an extra day in Vancover with Scott, Carolyne and family, and spent an afternoon with Aunt Norah - went to Steveston Landing.


We got to the Island Wednesday and visited with our friend Glen - wonderful BBQ. Lots of stories.


Thursday we headed to Hornby Island - to visit a few days at Carolyne's parents cabin. It is just off the Ferry in a beautiful setting. There was enough wind Thrusday to get out on my Formula rig. Very overpowered at first in the channel - but very nice once it backed off.
Had lots of fun racing the ferry back and forth. Not much of a contest really. If I caught a gust when it was 1/2 way across - I would beat it to the other side.
Friday it drizzled all day. We toured the Island and went for a 5k hike around a park on the North end of the Island.
