We had a wonderful visit to the gardens the morning of the 19th. The spring bulbs were in full bloom, with the color combinations that Butchart is so famous for. The destination for this day was Genoa Bay, so we could not hang out too long.
Leaving Butchart Cove we motored around the corner to check out Todd Inlet. It is another option for overnight anchoring if the Butchart buoys are full. The inlet was much protected and would certainly be an option in the future.
Winds were light as we headed toward Cowichan Bay. Genoa Bay is just west of the Samsun Narrows passage as you head toward Cowichan. We found a great anchorage, dinghyed to the dock and enjoyed our first dinner ashore. The café is a gourmet spot which features local offerings. Tonight the halibut took top honors. The bay is also home to a lot of artistic funk. The dock has art displays by a local artist hung on boat houses, The new bathrooms are surrounded by art, as well. This was a nice little stop over…but we had to keep moving on.
