Dock Parties

The pictures show some of the magnificent scenery as we got back into protected waters, after a long foggy passage through Queen Charlotte Sound and around Cape Caution. We celebrated when we had cleared that stretch of 'open seas' and from now on we will enjoy the scenic channels between the area called The Broughton Islands and Vancouver.
Our stop near Hakai Pass gave us time to hike across the land to the beach on the west coast. We were the only ones there, so we could let Kaiser run without his leash and he was like a young puppy running around the beach.

We've enjoyed social times at Shawl Bay Marina, where every night is Happy Hour among all the boaters and mornings are Pancake Breakfast served up by the dock owners.
We managed a rigorous hike through the woods at Echo Bay, as well, on our way to visit Billy Proctor's Museum, a very worthwhile effort. At Echo Bay the boats pack in for the popular Saturday night Pig Roast. This weekend we were there for the Nascar Veggie Races! Unfortunately, Team Zucchini would have done better on an oval track! Oh well; dinner was great and we've enjoyed all the socializing and great new friends.
Today we are at Lagoon Cove, where we visited on our way north in May, and we'll continue to move south from here. Tonight we'll have dinner at Blind Channel with Colyn & Connie.
