Sakinaw Lake

Our chauffeur picks us up at the marina, about ten minutes
to the cottage.

Sakinaw Lake is one of the most beautiful lakes in BC.  It is a marvelous drive along Sunshine coast. We took the Horseshoe Bay Ferry and enjoyed a scenic route to Gibson's Landing.  The drive along the coast took us through Sechelt, Halfmoon Bay and Pender harbour, all very beautiful.  The Grant cottage is accessible by boat only.



Gibson's Landing is a picturesque
village along the way

 

Phil enjoys a Canadian brew on the deck

 


Isabel, the best tour guide ever,
pauses for a moment of thought
on the way to the cottage

 

The Grant Compound



There is no shortage of boats here but this is a classic
beauty and a hot little boat !!

Let the cocktails begin!  Shades of
Sierra Madre lifestyle.



Dinner on the deck overlooking the
the lake, good food, good friends.
Ray's youngest sister Kelly joined us.



The cottage has an outdoor kitchen area,
brilliant idea



I have to show you this delicious
breakfast sausage that Isabel buys
at the market. Yummy breakfast.



Paperboy.  Daily paper delivered.
Don't you love it!!!

Ray, Dan and Phil (sporting his new

Isabel and Kelly peddle off for some exercise



Pat paddles over from across the lake
for an afternoon cocktail

We met Pat and Randy (who have a
cottage across the lake) this past
season in Manzanillo while visiting
the Grants.



Phil has no problem relaxing

 

Isabel and Ray in the kitchen preparing
another wonderful meal.  Actually, Ray is
opening another bottle of great wine.
Some excellent wines served this evening.

A wonderful evening, just missing Cyndy who was ill.
We hope to see everyone this season in Manzanillo.

Lake Sakinaw is a combination of captivating beauty and comfortable ambiance.  It is no surprise that our Vancouver friends make this their summer retreat.  We really enjoyed our time there with wonderful friends and fun times on the boat and you will see some serious water skiing in the next blog on Lake Sakinaw.

It was fun to meet Kelly, an elegant
lady (why not, she is Ray's sister).
What does Isabel's apron say? 
I think it says, "Will cook for sex"! 




Sakinaw Lake to be continued . Too much lake and too
much fun for one blog.
