Silva Bay, Gabriola Island

May 21, 2013
Today, we drove around the island.  A narrow paved road circles the island which is about 16 km in length and 7 km wide.  It is called the North Road on the north side and of course, the South Road on the south side.  Off of these main roads are many wandering dead-end streets, such as Whalebone and Berry Point.
Half  way around the island we stopped at Silva Bay for lunch and sat out on their patio overlooking the Silva Bay Marina.  It is a great casual pub-style restaurant.  They have the freshest calamari that we have had for a long time.  This along with the fresh Caesar salad and the view was well worth the drive.

The tides are extreme right now.  The fishing report for the Sounder News says that "a low of .8 to a high of 15.8" and depths are variable from 65' to 180'.  The weather has been rainy.
