Montague Harbour, Galiano Island

Andrea left, Wolfgang came back and this morning we visited the famous Ganges Saturday Market. The afternoon we came into Montague Harbour and the weather turned nice and sunny.

Ganges, Saltspring Island

The weather turned out not as bad as predicted, overcast but no rain. We came into Ganges on Saltspring Island, a great place to do some provisioning, drop off Andrea and pick up Wolfgang as it is only 25 minutes away from Vancouver by floatplane.

Pirates Cove

We came into Pirates Cove this afternoon after spending a hot and sunny day at Newcastle Island. The weather will be cloudy with a chance of rain for the next couple of days.

Another night at the Dinghy Dock Pub

We hiked all around Jedidiah Island this morning and then continued South to Nanaimo. We are staying at Newcastle Island tonight and of course visited the Dinghy Dock Pub.

Codfish Bay, Jedediah Island

Beautiful sunny day and we continued South. We are now anchored in Codfish Bay, exploring Jedediah Island by kayak, paddle board and on foot.http://map.iridium.com/m?lat=49.494250&lon=-124.190292

Tribune Bay, Hornby Island

We started heading South today, and are anchored in Tribune Bay on Hornby Island now. This is a very pretty big bay, open to the South, but with enough room for all the boats that come here. There is a long sandy beach, and we did a 10 km hike to Helliwell Park as well. The weather was sunny and warm.

Gorge Harbour

Wolfgang had to fly to Vancouver to work next week, so we came back into Gorge Harbour, took a walk in the woods and are enjoying a sunny and hot day. Tonight we have a reservation at the great restaurant here.

Squirrel Cove again

Andrea and Sheila flew from Vancouver to Refuge Cove today and we went over to Squirrel Cove for the night. Once we were anchored, the ladies all went for a swim.

Teakerne Arm, Desolation Sound

Sheila flew back to Vancouver today, and we came into Teakerne Arm. We had to work a bit at the anchor with a shore line as it is very deep. There is a nice waterfall here and a lake which we want to explore tomorrow. This is the place where Captain Vancouver coined the term Desolation in 1792 when he was anchored here in the rain suffering from depression. We had rain in the morning, it cleared later and we are not depressed.
