Genoa Bay is picturesque. Adjacent to Cowichan Harbor, Genoa is the little sister of "Cow Bay", as it is locally referenced. It is tucked in behind Separation Point and surrounded by thousand foot hills with bold bare granite faces. We journeyed across Cow Bay to the old Pier 66 Fuel dock to rendezvous with Steve from Shawnigan Auto Parts, who volunteered to drive from Mill Bay with our much needed replacement regulator. Steve was a former Mercury outboard mechanic for 18 years in the shop at Pier 66 which is now a liquor store. He started his parts store up in Mill Bay about 15 years ago and has made a decent go of it but remembers the old days when business and fishing was booming in the Cowichan area. Steve wouldn't take a dime more than the price of the simple Ford type regulator ($18) saying he'll need help someday and what goes around comes around. We shook hands. I thanked him profusely and he wished us good luck reminding me to make sure I grounded to the outside of the unit when I did the installation. The short of it is that between Steve of Mill Bay and Rick at Balmar, I was able to disconnect the high tech Balmar regulator and install the 50year old type simple ford truck regulator in its place and Ohana purred like a kitten with very happy batteries. Next morning, after trying our luck at some salmon around Separation Point we were off to to the border and Customs at Roche Harbor.
