Genoa Bay - Oddly out of Place

After a very smooth crossing of Cowichan Bay and a short paddle around Genoa Bay I headed out of Genoa Bay with the intention of making it to Saltspring Island via Sansum Narrow (more on that another time). As I was leaving Genoa Bay I spotted this oddly-out-of-place mini freighter (packet freighters I believe they're called).

Cowichan Bay - Morning Calm

It was late August and I had to be at work at BCIT the next day.  I could have - perhaps should have - been at my desk on this day. On the other hand, clearly, I could have extended a joyous kayaking summer just one more day. The latter option was the one I chose! And a grand choice it was! Cowichan Bay was as smooth as a mirror. Just after launching at the Cow Bay boat launch I paddled my way towards this lonely boat. The smoke? Making pancakes for breakfast I fantasized. And a few hours later I decided I needed more of this. I decided it was time to retire!
