Morning in James Bay was fantastic. Like a still pond. It still amazes me that this much water can be so calm.

We pulled anchor mid morning and set off for Genoa Bay. It’s not a big trip. Just an hour and a half or so.

Along the way, we took a turn through Annette Cove just to refresh our memory. We’ve been there in the past, but it was a long time ago. It’s a nice, well protected anchorage. The entrance is narrow. There are a few rocks on the sides and one in the middle.

We stopped at Russell Island for lunch. So did the HMCS Ottawa. I think they were just turning around.

We did not go ashore at Russell Island. Just anchored and lounged around for a while. Like everywhere else, very peaceful and quiet.

We arrived at Genoa bay mid afternoon and tied up to “C” dock. That’s us on the left.

The Cowichan – Genoa Bay ferry came by a few times.

It was suggested to us that choosing to eat anywhere other than the restaurant at the marina would be a mistake. Good advice. The Genoa Bay Cafe is really good. Kim had Halibut. I had Scallops.

Morning in Genoa Bay.

On to Sidney.
