Private marina where we first lived aboard our lovely little floathome.
When we first moved to the Island we lived in an apartment on a busy street, it also happened to a route the ambulance took regularly. We were ready to move out of it within 9 months. We stumbled across an ad for a floathome that was for sale and we were intrigued and ended up purchasing it. The house was moored up in Cowichan Bay, lovely little spot, quaint coastal community and we were welcomed with open arms. We loved our little seaside retreat, but eventually the 90 minute commute was getting to us so we towed our house down to Victoria and happy lived aboard for 10 years and the precipitating factor for moving back to dry land was our wee baby daughter who was starting to toddle. We needed grass under our feet instead of water.
Sunday we headed off and went to some of our old haunts and strolled the village. It was like going home again and made us both homesick for our floathome. Cowichan Bay is an eclectic little village with wonderful little shops and great restaurants. Our favorite was the Rock Cod Cafe when we lived there and their crab nights were legendary, all you could eat crab for $10. We stopped there and had a cold drink and some appies.
 Aren't they a cute couple...
This floathome belonged to a friend and is moored in the spot our house was.
