Motorcycle Adventures

Well we wanted to have a nice relaxing day, and we had heard of this great beach on Bowen Island, so we decided to have a closer look, and take our bikes to do it.

It has been a long time since I had been to Bowen.  I used to tie up my boat there.  I used to visit more than 6 times a year.  We were in for a little bit of a shock when we saw the prices.  Motorcycles are always cheaper, so we had expected perhaps $15 per person. No… Not so… $26 per person!

It was a nice sunny day, and we found the beach right away.  It wasn’t sandy, but the rocks were small and not too sharp, and the water was clear.  It’s the kind of beach where if you came at high tide, there would be no beach at all!

Sadly we had not gotten ourselves organized until a little too late in the day, and by the time we got there, the sun was starting to hide behind the island.  It was getting a little cold, and so we couldn’t stay as long as we had hoped.

We did enjoy ourselves, happy to find a new beach, and a new place to relax.  As we sat on our blanket we watched two dogs, so competitive that as the owner threw a log into the water, both dogs went after it, and both dogs held on as they swam back togeter (see photos).

When it got too cold, we went to Doc Morgan’s for a nice dinner, and then back to the ferry after a walk on the docs.  A wonderful day together with my sweetie.
