Day Seven - We arrive in Gabriola

Our ferry arrives at the Gabriola Island ferry port.
This view shows a tug hauling logs. The view is from Sally's porch.

We stopped at local markets to get great pate, cheese, crab meat, and fish to prepare for tonight's meal.

We are sautéing salmon with young sweet onions.
We had sautéed salmon with pizza and Dungeness crab.  The lady from the fish market was proud that she had just shucked this crab meat.  It was sweet, tender and flavorful.

We enjoyed chocolates from Chocolatier de Victoria.  They were rum barrels, salted caramels and coco truffles.

These are Ranier cherries picked fresh from one of Sally's trees.

The sun sets over the Strait of Georgia, as seen from Sally's porch.

Cherries are blooming.  Is there a pie in our future?

Vanna?  Tomorrow, we hope to post from one of North America's premier oyster sources.  Stay tuned...
