WWBA Fall Rendezvous, Ganges, Salt Spring Island, B.C. 09.20-09.22.2013

Day 1:  Friday, 09.20.2013

It’s always fun catching up with everyone’s summer travels and seeing what has been done to the retired workboats.  This is our seventh year as part of the group and each year is more enjoyable.  We have really made some good friends over the years.

Friday night of the rendezvous is spent having appies on the boats and catching dinner at one of the local restaurants.

When we got in we were welcomed by Martin & Marty from M/V Java!  You may remember them from the beginning of our trip.  They traveled with us from Nanaimo to Shearwater.  It was great seeing them again!   And Marty had plenty of fish stories to share!  Fish slayer that he is! LOL!



 
We all made plans to have dinner up at the Tree House Café which is located right at the top of the dock.  Jelly is with them and so is Marty’s wife Katherine.  So we’ll be 10 for dinner.

 
The rest of the day was spent helping people get docked and visiting with everyone as they came in.










 
The Tree House Café is an outside seating restaurant.  The tables have umbrellas but once our drinks had arrived and we were waiting for our dinners – it started to downpour!  So we moved all of the tables under the overhang of the nearby art gallery to get out of the rain!  It might not have been the best choice of restaurants due to weather but the food was fantastic!
