Well, after several years being on the hard we finally got to go on an adventure. After dreaming of new destinations(near home of course) Sturt Bay on Texada Isl. has lately been on my mind, having sailed past it a few times while at work, and it was only twenty miles from our home port of Comox Hrb. Patty and I with some wind in our sails again!A couple of boats in the bay, so we decided to enjoy the wonderful hospitality at the boat club. Vananda, the small community on Texada, was a thriving mine town before the turn of the century, boasting almost 2000 residents and the best opera house north of San Fransisco! the museum was excellent, it even had a mocked up mine shaft with tools and equipment.to be continued in next post.
