A Day in Deep Cove

 When you go to Deep Cove, you have to stop by Honey Doughnuts & Goodies.  ;-)
This is what they're known for!  Don't even bother with the other doughnuts.  Their Honey Doughnuts are the best!
Big thanks to Viki for brunch!!!  :-) 
After our meal, we hiked the Baden-Powell Trail to burn-off those calories.  ;-)
On top of Quarry Rock.
"That's right!  We're gonna paddle down there."
"Yay!!!" 
I promised Viki some Stand Up Paddleboarding this summer.
I showed her the quick way down from here.

We rented a couple of boards from Deep Cove Canoe & Kayak,
but we could only use them for an hour because they were holding...
a paddle race today!
LOL!  I was wondering why all these people were coming in.

Viki and I enjoyed some gelato on the pier as we waited for our bus to arrive.
I took the time to shoot some photos of our surroundings.
Woohoo, caught him!


Oh, they're starting to line-up!

Apparently, there were two races, one short course and one long course.
All vessels had to be paddle driven.
The race official.
Ohhh, there was a cutie watching!

They had a good turn-out of participants for this race!

Deep Cove Canoe & Kayak held the race.

I think they were all racing for bragging rights.  LOL!

And there they go!
It's pretty awesome.
They're off to Jug Island and back.
This poor guy capsized twice at the start line!  LOL!  He's apparently fast enough to win the race though.
Back in the city, Viki and I had dinner at Sala Thai!  The food's great here!  :-)
We finished-off our day with a late showing of "The Conjuring".

Boowaahahahahaaaha!!!  :-)
