We had no more real destinations for our last day but we also didn't have to catch our ferry until 3:30 so we started to drive north so we could say we checked out the entire island. We went to 'Southy Point' which seems poorly named since it's on the North end of the island and then went to Beddies Beach. We should have gone there on the first day since it was a great beach to just hang out at. We finished off the day with a final wander around Ganges. Salt Spring during Covid means it's mostly closed on the weekends so this was our first opportunity to check out some of the stores downtown.
We then headed to the ferry which should have been the end of our adventure however Callie decided she had to go to the bathroom 30 minutes before the ferry was scheduled to leave. I wasn't initially worried since that seemed like plenty of time but about 1 minute after she left the car they gave us the warning that it was time to go back to your car. Instead of heeding this warning, Callie still went to the bathroom. Kerry came back from a short hike nearby to find no Callie and our row moving. She was not impressed.
Our panicked decision involved me getting out to try to find her while Kerry slowly drove to the dock. She was forced to get on and I was left with Callie on the dock with no wallet and no cell phone. BC Ferries staff were excellent and gave us temporary boarding passes to walk on. The adventure continued when Kerry went up stairs and forgot she was waiting for Carter who had left to go find a vending machine. We also had to nurse Oliver the whole time who did not like being on a ferry and was too warm in the car. We finished things up by draining our battery trying to keep him cool. BC Ferries to the rescue again with their portable battery for a boost. A fun weekend adventure.
