It has been rainy the last couple of days. Regardless, we decided to go back to Pilot Bay and go for a walk on the beach. The tide was out and we found some very interesting rock formations that run along the shoreline of this beach. There were also plenty of oysters to be found.
Note: The harvest of these "bivalves" is unsafe at present as they are affected by red tide according to the Fisheries Website that I found on the Internet.
We find that we are trying to embrace the rainy days. So despite the rain, we are taking in the beauty around us, from every tree, from every rock and from every ocean current. Jake, our dog just loves running and exploring here.
Gabriola Island is no stranger to the rain and we find we finally are soaked through our rain-proof wind breakers and head back to the truck. We found out that it is important for us to go and buy some good quality rain coats and to wear layers of clothing to stay warm and dry so that we can enjoy the rain.
There is something indescribably wonderful and renewing about the fresh salty sea air. Today, I was initially hesitant about going out for our walk as it would have been easier to hibernate and read, but I am totally glad that we went. Rainy days can hold adventure!
Back in the truck we decide to drive further down Berry Point Road to Orlebar Point. Here we viewed the Entrance Island Lighthouse and the ferry coming across from Horseshoe Bay to Nanaimo. We will definitely come back here on a sunny day to explore the beach.
