Captain / Admiral’s report:
What a great day... AGAIN...
We woke to an awesome bright and sunny day.
The admiral has staked her claim to her own island... albeit underwater at high tide. (see photos below)
We had a community breakfast hosted by the Admiral and crew of Justavacation. As you can tell from the photos below, it was a good old Alberta pancake breakfast.
As we weighed anchor, it was with some trepidation that we leave the Octopus Islands. We have come to love these islands for its peaceful beauty and sense of belonging here.
The short cruise to Rebecca Spit through the Surge Narrows was both calming and exciting. The trip through the narrows was exciting because they were running at a flood tide combined with our boat speeds of almost 30 knots SOG. (According to Pat’s calculations).
The water on both sides of the narrows was glass like and afforded us some exploration time along the shore lines at cruising speed of 23 knots.
Our destination was Taku Resort and Marina next to Rebecca spit. This too, is a jewel for anyone with an adventurous spirit could fall in love with.
We enjoyed a prawn feast on the dock followed by buffalo burgers; all compliments of Pat and Claudine. ( Bootlegger)
