Feb 20th - Trial Island (#15)

Dennis and I paddled to Oak Bay Marina where we met up with Gordin and then continued on to Trial Island. It was a beautiful day, currents were in our favour both ways, what more could we ask for? The tide was quite low so we got great views of intertidal life along the shores of Trial. we also stopped and chatted with the light keeper for a few minutes. Lots of sea birds on the water, including a group of "old squaw" or long-tailed ducks.
On our way back we noticed a strange vessel in Oak Bay and went to investigate - it turned out to be an almost completed, home built(?) small hovercraft!
