Victoria BC/Pender Island – Day 3

Antje and Brad returned to Seattle on Sunday evening while Will and I stayed on for another half a day in Victoria. We spent the day walking around the city, taking in more of the festivities of Victoria Day celebrations before continuing our vacation to Pender Island.

Bye bye Victoria! Off to Pender Island!

Pender island (“A”) is one of the Southern Gulf Islands, approximately 13.1 sq miles and home to 2,500 permanent residents as well as a large seasonal population.  
Perfectly sunny day to be out on the water!
