August 3rd-4th
Gary and Marsha are meeting us in Sidney on the 4 th so we decided to hoist Anchor and go over to Sidney Spit Anchorage for a night. Most boats anchor in near the park dock where it is more protected. After going up looking for a channel in deep enough for Water dog’s 5’3″ draft we chickened out and anchored out tucked up close to the beach on south side out of the prevailing SE winds.
Had a nice walk on beach…it got dirty when on the strait of Georgia but was nice and clean facing the spit where we anchored.
You can moor at the main park dock overnight if desire and space available. After beach walk went to the dock. Took a couple mile walk south on island through the trees then back through the campground.
A couple old growth cedars were huge, wonderful tall madrones but the island was logged by a brick company that was present at one point in early century. Campers would play with some left over bricks on the beach. A few brick structures and cleared depressions were the clay pits.
Had left over crab soup and broccoli for dinner with some mac and cheese. Early to bed.
