April 27, 2012

We ended up leaving LaConner on Monday, 4/23.  Our first day only took us to Prevost Harbor on Stuart Island but the tides were right and Gary picked up a couple of dozen oysters!  We had wonderful oysters two nights in a row.
Day 2 took us to Nanaimo to clear customs and then on to Schooner Cove.  We ended up staying there 2 days because of a 40 mph blow in the Strait of Georgia.  Crumby place.  Good docks, nice people but no power and NOTHING there.  No store, no restaurant.  We each read a book!!  It really galls me to have to spend moorage in a place where there is nothing to do.
Yesterday, Thursday, we proceeded on flat water under blue skies to Gowland Harbor across from Campbell River.  Dropped the hook behind an island....gotta have a dog walk place....and had a great night on the hook.  Will leave here in about an hour for Seymour Narrows....need the right currents to get through there.... and then on to Cameleon Bay.  Plan to put out the prawn pots and have prawns for dinner.  Life is good.
