fun on Bowen

July 27 Sunday 2014

We left Friday water calm under bridge and at point Atkinson. Luck is with us as we are able to get into Snug Cove on Bowen Island. Saturday Sherri, Gerry Carter and Madison come by ferry. As Gerry has the car I get him to drive us to Killarney Lake but I tell him the wrong way and he drops us off at Crofton Lake. He leaves before I discover my mistake .A nice fellow drives us to Killarney. We hike and swim. Madison catches a tiny frog then we hike back to Snug Cove. The kids end up staying overnight and Gerry picks them up Sunday a good time was had by all
