Cowichan Bay Cultural Centre, brand new, not a nail in the entire building, all beams - if curved - came pre formed straight from a tree.
Exhibiting hand carved boats, old photographs, paintings as well as staging a few musical evenings. |

| A Wooden Boats Association creates intricate examples of small dories laid up by hand, and lovingly varnished to perfection. You may win one! |

| Hilary, which is the name of a Cowichan Valley dairy farmer, raises goats and cows in his bucolic fields. He converts their milk into delicious hand crafted cheeses, which he sells at Saturday's Duncan farmers market as well as his Cowichan Bay licensed bistro - which affords a spectacular view over the water. |

| Saltspring Island on a foggy morning as seen from my kitchen |
 |
| Table Mountain with table cloth, Northern Hemisphere Style....in Capetown in Africa, the cloth flows over the table mountain top...but here, funky Saltspring Island just does the opposite, it swirls around sea level. |
