Today, we awoke to a calm, foggy morning after a very quiet night at Port Harvey Marina. We felt as though we were sleeping on land; the boat moved so little during the night. After the wind, the creaking against the dock, and the salmon fishers going out at all hours that we experienced the two previous nights, last night was heaven!
We followed another boat (nice folks, Cathy and John Campbell from Victoria) up Johnstone Strait to Port Harvey yesterday. After the “gale-force” winds predicted, we were grateful to see 2-foot swells with a wind chop. The only dicey part was when we turned into Havannah Channel and the waves were striking our beam. Bill powered through!
We heard that there had been a pod of Pacific white-sided dolphins in the marina this morning, but we missed them. We did, however, get to see them on our way out of the bay. They really come out of the water and put on a show! No orcas yet.
We took a nice, leisurely cruise to Lagoon Cove Marina today. We had heard great things about the happy hours here, so we had to check it out. The owners, Bill and Jean Barber, provide the prawns and everyone else brings their drinks and finger foods. The prawns were great! And Bill told stories of the history of Lagoon Cove and the area, as well as some tall tales.
So, our Friday the 13th was a warm, sunny day and a lot of fun. Nice sky this evening, too:
