Tonight was a “burn out the cobwebs” night.
I had no real intention of going for a ride until around noon. Then an idea formulated that I needed some ice cream. Did I need an ice cream? No! If course not! But by 3:30 it was “I NEED an ice cream!” Really. It was just an excuse for a ride.
Leaving Campbell River just shortly after 6pm I made my way down the “slab” to the Buckley Bay turn off, then jumped on to the old island highway. The intention was to end up at The Cone Zone in Qualicum Bay. Instead I ended up stopping at Fanny Bay to visit with some friends and to see the sea lions who have taken up residence on a float just off the pier.

Raucous and amusing at the same time, these things provided with some amusement. At the same time a bunch of other friends showed up to see the seals as well. A good visit took place then it was time to make a break for home as clouds seemed to be forming on the horizon.
All in all – a quick trip but a wonderful finish to the day.
