Back to work for both of us. It’s been a very warm week with temperature hovering between 25 and 36*C (80 to 96*F).
On Friday night, we went for dinner with Donna and Marcel at the local pub in Sorrento, Billy Pub. The food was excellent and the beer cold so we decided that this would be a place we would come back to. My son Jeffrey and his girlfriend, Debbie, joined us a bit later. He wasn’t supposed to arrive until tomorrow but decided to drive right through. He has his boat with him of course. Once back at the park, we set them up in Brook’s trailer next door which we rented from Brook.
On Saturday, Jeffrey came over to the Provincial Park and launched his boat. Later in the afternoon, after I got home, we went over to Brook’s cabin and had happy hour with him and his parents who are also from Geraldton so Val had lots to talk about.
Sunday, Val went out with them for a boat ride.
Monday was my day off and chore day. We had to go to Salmon Arm to meet a guy who never showed up. We had lunch at Cafe 24, a nice place with Jeff and Debbie.
Tuesday, Val was back at work and the three of us went boating to the end of Seymour North Arm. We first stopped at the channel between each lake and fuelled up and had a bite to eat on barges in the middle of the channel which is wide, thank goodness for that. For those of you who don’t know the Shuswap's, it is actually two lakes forming an H with Seymour Arm being the upper left side of the H. Just to give you an idea of how big it is, we travelled for two full hours @ 26 KPH in the boat before the north end. We had a beer up there then came back down. We stopped in Anglemont and had a quick lunch. It was VERY WARM! At least 36*C ( 98*F). We got back home around 5 pm, picked up Val and went for a swim out in the lake in a little alcove. We came home refreshed, had dinner then had one last fire before the ban!
