New Year's Eve was spent on the west coast of the island, at the superb Moutcha Bay Resort, closed for the season but open to a gathering of friends to welcome in 2012. New Year's Day, I soothed a hangover and a burgeoning Christmas cold with a couple of beers on the water while BC spot prawns were pulled from the depths. We boated out to the head of Nootka Sound, caught a streak of sun near historic Friendly Cove, before returning to the resort. Another successful day on the coast.
