We left Lund with the intention of going about 3 hours to Sturt Bay, on Texada Island....well, it was sunny, warm, pretty calm and we just didn't want to anchor yet. Sooooo, we went on down to Jervis Inlet, where we dropped an anchor around 2:00pm. Well, it was rocky, and Bob wasn't feeling comfortable with how the anchor was holding, so we made the decision to pull it up and go to Pender Harbour - another 2 hours away. So, there went my desire for a short day's run! We went to Fisherman's Resort in Pender Harbour and had a relatively quiet night. After 8 weeks of being alone or almost alone in every anchorage, being in a marina packed full of partying people was culture shock. The next morning at 7 we left Pender and were going to Bowen Island in Howe Sound, just north of Vancouver. About an hour into the trip, the weather channel reported strong wind warnings in Howe Sound.....we were currently into the Straits of Georgia, and the water was pretty calm, so we just said "Heck with it" and turned the boat towards the west.....and crossed the straits, went into Gabriola Pass 10 minutes before slack, went through the pass and ended up in Clam Bay on Thetis Island at 3:30pm. So another long day......we spent 2 nights in Clam Bay, and this morning we came down the east side of Vancouver Island and here we are, in Maple Bay. We will cross back into US waters tomorrow and plan to come home the day after.....or maybe Sunday.
...And now that I have this terrific, quick WiFi at the Maple Bay clubhouse, I will show you the pictures.....
