The weather was typical of most May long weekends on the south coast.  There was a little sun, a little rain, a little wind and the nights were cool.  This year our Victoria Day Cruise changed slightly.  It turned out Coquitlam and Norvan Squadrons had booked space at Snug Cove at the same time as our Squadron.  Through our Commander Bill Grout they invited us to join them for the weekend activities.  The planned activities included a potluck dinner, commander’s breakfast, appies on A Dock, BBQ, Bocce Ball, a hike to Artisan Square, Croquet Tournament, Dinghy Games and a Photo Contest.  

The rain did arrive at lunchtime on Sunday and lasted for few hours.  This put a damper on the appies and some of the games planned for the afternoon.  By late afternoon tarps had been put into place for the BBQ, the sun grudgingly returned and the activities carried on.   

Unfortunately, Burnaby Squadron was located on E dock and Coquitlam and Norvan Squadrons were located on A dock.  These locations are literally at opposite ends of the marina.  It would have been nicer to be a little closer to the other squadrons as the distance and the weather made socializing a challenge.  Despite these obstacles, we had a good time and had a chance to meet and talk to many of the folks from the other two squadrons.
