Sunday through Tuesday

On Sunday morning, we got back on the ferry to Nanaimo and headed to one of the premier spots for West Coast oysters.

We ate at the F.B.I, a.k.a. Fanny Bay Inn, where we had naked oysters, breaded pan-fried oysters and seafood chowder.  The FBI is a British-style pub. 

Once home again, we broiled a dozen of the "small" oysters from Fanny bay, plus had the raw "extra-small" or Satori oysters.

We followed the oyster course with broiled Manila clams over cheese raviolis.  The raviolis are topped with Dungeness crab meat warmed in melted butter.  We are drinking a BC vin gris.  The wines here are superb.

The next day, Monday, was the sunniest yet.  This is the view south from Sally's front deck.

Hey!  More oysters!  Kathy only eats the cooked ones, so once again, I broiled some up.  We bought five dozen total.  We'll finish off the last two dozen or so tonight.

Today is Tuesday and we'll do some more beach combing and visit some shops on the island.  Rob, Sally's tenant, brought us up some freshly-caught spring salmon.  We'll be cooking that up tonight before we had back to Victoria to catch the ferry to Port Angeles, Washington tomorrow afternoon.
