Stormy Weather in Ganges, Salt Spring Island, B.C. Day 3: Sunday, 09.22.2013

Traditionally on Sunday morning the group has a sail pass out in the Harbor around 11:00 am then everyone usually leaves the event after the sail pass. 

This year we had heavy winds and rain so we had to cancel the sail pass and many of the boats stayed overnight again in Ganges to wait out the weather. 

Some of our boats left early to beat the weather (some even on Saturday like White Raven) and a few even left and wound up turning around and coming back to the harbor because the wind waves were too much!

We choose to stay another night and see what happens on Monday.  There isn’t really any reason for us to press on and chance the weather.

The feeling around the dock was like when we were kids and we had a snow day.  An unexpected free day! 


 
Since there were a bunch of us staying we decided to have another pot luck.  Bruce and I made a hugh pot of spaghetti and everyone contributed something towards the meal.  Garlic bread, a few different types of salads, soup, and pumpkin pie for desert!  We even had Mike donate a bottle of whiskey to John on Hayden Pass for hosting!




 
We certainly eat well at these events! LOL!  As you can see everyone had a great time.
