Okay! The photo gallery insanity has all been straightened out, and Carole has scanned and uploaded the pictures from our trip to Bowen a couple weeks ago.
So what did we do there?
Well, first we checked in to our floating hotel room on the warf of the Snug Cove Marina. And after a few drinks on the dock (as the ferry arrived behind us), we headed up to Doc Morgan's for a BBQ dinner, and a few more drinks with the whole fam-damily. We had a great night's sleep, and early the next morning, my aunt's beau, Chris took us out on his boat to haul up the crab traps (tonight's dinner!) and otherwise just enjoy a beautiful morning on the water.
Carole spent her liesure time feeding goats, taking great pictures, chillaxin' on the boat, and taking more great pictures - while I mostly drank beer and got stupid (so unlike me!).
That night was a big BBQ party at Chris' place (that's my dad tending to the meat), where I drank muchos cervesas. As you can tell by this scenic shot (taken in the afternoon the next day) I was feeling a little rough...
But, we did manage to get out on an awesome boat ride to Gabriola Island, and even managed to make it back on to the ferry (after a one sailing wait). It was an awesome weekend. Much better than the next weekend when we went to Newport Village for Italian Days, and sauntered out to the low-tide Rocky Point mud flats to snap this picture.
