We also ordered fish tacos, a beef melt and a pizza, and then the friendly staff gave me a tour of the facility, which was the original home of the Arrow Custom Motorcycles company. Outside there&#8217;s a large dog-friendly patio and a Coast Salish totem carved by artist Tom Lafortune. The old showroom is now the brewery\u2019s lounge and outside the red brick building is a large patio and tented stage where live musical acts play.

addition to the accommodation scene in the Cowichan region that features a century-old building with a colourful past. Originally constructed in Nanaimo, The Temperance was chopped up and moved to its current location and in the ensuing 110 years it has housed everyone from miners to doctors. In September 2020 Denise Bergquist and Stefan Queitsch bought the building and spent the next four years \u201cupdating every inch of it,\u201d she says. The result is stunning: a modern, boutique hotel that pays homage to its history via the hewn hardwood floors, funky lights, and the black-and-white murals and pictures depicting turn-of-the-century

They loved it. The bay is well protected from the wind and they eventually got the hang of steering the kayak rudders using their foot pedals while propelling forward using the two-bladed paddle. We weren\u2019t in the water long before a dozen harbour seals checked us out. It was so cool to see their little heads bobbing out of the water around us: at times they were so close we could hear them exhale. They remained nearby for a half hour and during that time we also saw wild swans, kingfishers, bald eagles, and fish jumping. Perhaps they were escaping the seals. <\/span><\/p>\n","path_photo":[{"ID":55320,"id":55320,"title":"sea kayak cowichan bay 7 - Cowichan RTJ - Vince

Opened in April 2022 by friends Rod Alsop and Jon Ludtke, the Bayview features both a large, eclectic food menu (Jon was a chef for over 25 years) and an extensive beer list. Our flights included the subtle and tasty Lady Guava Gose and the delicious 7 Belles, a dry-hopped saison named for the practice of ringing bells at 7pm in honour of the area\u2019s healthcare workers. Other offerings included beers inspired by desserts, such as the Simple Twist of Fate, described as a \u201cblackberry, lemon-cobbler sour,\u201d and the Nobody Puts Baby in a Corner peach and coconut hazy pale ale. The winner of the best food menu item goes to the dill pickle pizza: it sounds weird, but it\u2019s so good!<\/span><\/p>\n","path_photo":[{"ID":55411,"id":55411,"title":"bayview brewing 2 - Cowichan

He has an infectious enthusiasm and spent 45 minutes doing dry-land training with my parents showing them how to balance on a board, the various paddle strokes, and what to do should they fall in. That latter lesson proved invaluable because no sooner did my father stand up on the board than he tumbled backwards into the water. I found myself sharing the advice he had given me as a youngster, saying things like, \u201cKeep trying, you learn from your mistakes,\u201d and \u201cPractice makes perfect.\u201d Despite this, and given the unseasonably cool temperatures, he elected to go ashore and dry off, so my mother and I were left to explore the bay and its small islands on our own for an hour. She too fell in near the end of the tour but laughed it off and said she was eagerly awaiting the night-time glow cruise.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","path_photo":[{"ID":55449,"id":55449,"title":"pristine

At one point I scrambled onto a rocky island and watched my mother and Josh float through a narrow channel making trails of pink and green that danced to an ethereal soundtrack.
