Ladysmith, Sept 9-11th

Back on the Vancouver Island side near the Canadian Gulf Islands, we stayed at Ladysmith for a couple of nights. This was a nice little town with a quiet guest dock run by the local maritime community. We felt right at home. 






Old logging tug:


There were a crazy amount of rabbits on the uplands near the marina. This must be a local rabbit depository for people who are tired of their pet bunnies. They were everywhere. We thought of taking one home but assumed Kona might object.




Sue has no comment for this:


We had a nice garlic prawn pasta dinner on the boat the first night:




...and went to an excellent local Spanish-Tapas place the second night. Aside from being the birthplace of Pamela Anderson this town is known for a bakery that has renowned cinnamon rolls. We of course had to draw our own conclusions (multiple tests of course) and we're pleased to announce that they were indeed delicious. Eaten so quickly, no photographic evidence exists.

We also met up with a fellow cruiser, J.R. on his Krogen 42'. He has extensive knowledge of the Inside Passage after cruising it for many years. He shared some stories and good book recommendations with us over some pie one evening that also came from the bakery. 
Yes, overall we enjoyed Ladysmith quite a bit.
