The last days on the water

The trip was sadly reaching its end.

The last few days were not very eventful so I am able to put them all into one post.

On the 5th day we sailed to Saturna Island. Really the only reason we went here was because this island has a huge vineyard. The beach that we docked near was rather boring. There were no crabs, starfish, or jelly fish. Also the water was absolutely freezing. We did attempt to put our bathing suits on and swim but it was just too cold! The best part about this beach was a swing rope that was tied to a tree. Although you couldn't jump off of it because the water was too shallow.

Once we did all we could do on the beach it was time to hike up to the Vineyard. The Vineyard was about a 15 minute hike on a dirt road. The road was lined with rashberry and blackberry bushes, so we stopped to snack every now and again. The Vineyard was all along the Island, and at the top was the wine shop where you could taste test all their different wines with different cheeses and crackers. I had never seen a Vineyard before or been to a winery so it was a cool and new experience.

We stayed at Saturna Island until the next morning, then we headed out to Sidney Spit.

Where we anchored at Sidney Spit was just near the sandspit. This was the best beach that we went to all week. It was all soft sand, with no rocks or barnacles. Since it was only sand, there wasn't much water life there other than some minnows near shore. Aside from the beautiful sandy beach, the water was also the perfect temperature for the weather. Not too warm and not too cold.

We did see a dead Lions Mane JellyFish and of course I had to snag a picture of it.

Those were the last two days of the trip. The next morning we headed back to the Marina that we started at and my amazing ocean vacation was put to an end. Although the trip was over, the effects that it had on me were just starting.
