We went to Horseshoe Bay http://www.horseshoebaybc.ca/ on the 250 bus, we caught it onHomer street at 11:22 am. There was 5 people Marilyn, Ken , Linda, Judy, Flora. We travelled through West Van along Marine Drive. A scenic drive and saw the Inlet and we past the Gleneagle golf course. We also saw a new firehall with a old fire engine in front . We arrived at Horseshoe Bbay at 12:15. We went to Starbucks and had coffee and snack. We all took the taste test for the Instant Via coffee. We all did not guess right but we received a free sample and coupon for the coffee.
Sewells marina http://www.sewellsmarina.com/ has been there since 1930. and the Black Ball Ferry was the previous ferry in 1951 before the BC Ferries.
In the park there was totem pole ( frog, salmon,bear) carved by Northwest Coast Tsimshian first nations band chief Jeffrey and his son Rupert in 1975. There was plaque on the pier about rock fish in the waters one lived to be 80 years old and one lives to l00.
On the pier we saw the yacht Spirit Chaser, which we wish to take next time. There was a free telescope and we looked at the mountains and saw a ferry going out and secret cave on the mountain side.
There are some nice restaurants, Trolls, Oyster Bar Ya Ya, Boathouse and some little shops to visit.
