Last morning Discovery Lodge Aug 31st

Today we woke to the rain again. Our kayak guide Jen had made a lovely bowl of fruit with yogurt and freshly made chocolate banana bread.  
We were packing up our wet gear, paying our bill and then getting on the road. 
We had planned to get the noon ferry from Quathiaski Cove to Campbell River but we missed it by thirteen cars. After a stop at Pamela's to unload her gear we all piled back into both Sandys vehicle and Pamela's .
We eventually arrived at Sue's beautiful home on the ocean in Fanny Bay. Sue and Jim are multi talented. The garden path leading to the house descends towards the ocean through lush plants and a burbling stream. We were greeted by Sue with open arms and we  admired all.....the view, the art and serenity that the space evokes ! Sue offered us freshly baked scones, coffee and canapés. We went outside to see her studio and work. Lastly we went further down to the Oceanside where they have an outdoor bedroom, complete with a beautiful old brass bed. The walls were draped in mosquito screening. What an amazing place to sleep with the sound of the wind and the waves. 
We caught up on all family news and soon had to leave for our 7:30 ferry reservation, Nanaimo to Vancouver.
