We left the the dock for a while yesterday...and there goes the neighborhood!
We returned to find the new Ranger Tugs 41 had arrived while we were out. We had a quick tour...it's big.
Our day trip included the Zs. We went prepared to fish and to drop crab and shrimp pots. It took longer than expected to accomplish all of that and get up to Pendrell Sound to swim, so we dropped the shrimp pot and went on our way.
Desolation Sound is truly gorgeous and one day we'll have more time to explore. The surrounding mountain peaks are quite dramatic, and the deep water fjords are hundreds of feet deep. (Our depth finder read 1300 at one point.) We stopped Europa at the edge of a cliff to swim. The water may not have been the 70 degrees we were expecting, but pretty darn close.
Stopped for the pot on the way back. 7. We put it back and will pull it on our way to Powell River today. We would not have been able to do it at all if the Zs hadn't been there to untangle the rope!
Connection has been spotty and for some reason I was unable to post my last blog entry when I wrote it. Then it published...without any of the text. So, the photos are of: Kenny looking at a fuel line leak...he crawled into a locker in extremely hot weather and we are very grateful; sunrise over Comox as we left for Gorge Harbor; fishing gear - we caught one native coho, which had to be thrown back; a humpback - we weren't this close, so it's Steve's photo; and the entry into to Gorge Harbor.
Looks absolutely fabulous!
