Captain / Admiral’s report:

This morning dawned a beautiful sunny day.
After procuring our provisions for the coming week, we departed under bright blue skies for Von Donop Inlet.

Our cruise this morning took us through the beautiful Uganda Passage and around Shark Spit on Marina Island. The pictures that follow will attest our claim.

We arrived at the head of Von Donop Inlet around 1300, where we anchored at the hook of the inlet.

At 1700 Tom & Susie Scottnicki arrived from Gibsons aboard Maresia. Pat and Claudine are havening some issues with their boat, and will try to rendezvous with us in a day or so.

One of the most amazing sights we have ever seen, is the sheer numbers of Jelly Fish in the bay.
There must be millions of them. We have tried to photograph some for the blog. Hopefully you will be able to see what we mean.,
