Day 21 – September 22, 2015

Eager to continue surfing, I got up early, rented a board and strapped it to my roof.

I surfed at Cox Bay, which is a 10 minute drive from town.  Although I don’t have photo-documentation, trust me when I say that the waves were great.

Fixed myself a little a picnic for lunch…. This ham-tomato-and-avocado pita is dedicated to Stephen G.

Now, onward to the next adventure!  I registered as a guest with the Lone Cone Hostel and soon found myself barreling toward Meares Island on a water-taxi.

Lone Cone is located on the island and was only recently opened in July 2015!

Here’s what I saw when I approached the island… Lone Cone Mountain.  As soon as it emerged out of the mist, I said to myself, “I’m climbing that.” (Stay tuned)

I was welcomed to the hostel by friendly staff and a local wild cow.

I was immediately impressed by the hostel – clean, warm and filled with other fellow travelers from around the world.  There was great atmosphere in the lounge, with a fire blazing in the fireplace and us clasping hot mugs of tea as talked about our travels.
