43rd Surfman Award: Sidney By The Sea, BC and Andrew&Shauna

Goodbye Sidney-By-The-Sea!!! We will not forget thee. This week's Surfman good deed goes to our new favourite vacation spot and the site of the surfman's recent marriage to his beautiful sweetie. Our dear friends Andrew and Shauna made our marriage a day that we will always remember, their planning of things that we never even thought about as well as choosing the ideal location for us (diver's pier) have continued to leave us thankful for the wonderful friends we have in our lives. They even surprised us with a honeymoon suite overlooking our pier... how incredible is that!

Sidney-By-The-Sea is such a wonderful family oriented community set right on the ocean and everybody is friendly and laid-back, we felt very peaceful there. There was none of the hustle and bustle of the big city, as well as no smog to contend with. Apparently, the running joke is: if you get somebody honking at you, you ask them if they are from Toronto...Sidney folk wait patiently as opposed to honking, at least that is what we have been told. And the fresh fish caught daily is such a treat that we enjoyed more than one fine sea side restaurant during our stay.

The picture above is our last day there, and this friendly man waved at us from his VW Van which was a perfect way to end our perfect trip.
