I LIKE THAT the
overcast weather these days in Campbell River doesn’t put a damper on our plans
to walk around the Pier Street Farmer’s Market. We waded through the avenues of
product sellers and settled down to enjoy the tunes from a free live band. We
munched on fish and chips purchased earlier at the Fisherman’s Wharf.
The panoramic view from the wharf is glorious. Standing on
the pier facing the Island Highway, I am greeted with an array of boats of all
shapes, sizes and condition. Gazing northeast presents me with a royal blue
ocean and the tree-covered south end of Quadra Island. As I face the southeast
my mind follows the outgoing tide down the Strait of Georgia, south to the
unobstructed Pacific Ocean.
I cast my eyes to the dock and experience the excitement of
men, women and children fishing from its sturdy timbers. To add to the
ambience, there is a large blue net, and lying next to it is a bright orange
life ring. The fragrance of seawater fills my nostrils and the mist of the
ocean showers me with a cool spray.
I invite you to join Frank and I next time. It’s a wonder.
