Our trip to Vancouver Island in Canada with our destination being Tofino was such an incredible trip. We met so many wonderful people and everyone was so genuinely nice here.  We caught the ferry from Sidney in Canada and then returned home to Orcas Island via the Friday Harbor ferry (pictured below is our Airstream in the waiting line).

When we finally unhitched at West Beach Resort, B and hubby went exploring on the beach and I began the tedius, but yet relaxing task of cracking the remainders of our freshly caught Dungenous Crab B and hubby caught while on their fishing trip with Lance.   I was ready to prepare some Dungeonous Crab Cakes and I wanted these to be simple because  I wanted the crab to the be the star!  Less is more with this recipe — you could even omit the celery but I wanted some kind of “crunch” amongst the delicate crab meat.  Maybe a freshly diced red bell pepper would be good instead of the celery — the possibliites are endless and all depend on what kind of mood you are in.

It is good to be home on Orcas Island and we are really looking forward to exploring the many farms this beautiful Island has to offer the public.  B can’t stop talking about visitng a farm with chickens and baby lambs — maybe we will!  All I know so far is that the folks here on this Island are so warm and welcoming!
