Day 3,4,5 - Leaving Civilization behind

Mikes Varnishing work hung up to dry
The only boat in Desolation

Woo hooo, we are lucking out with the weather. 3rd Sunny day in a row. We have travelled a mere 20 miles from Powell River to Desolation Sound. We are sitting in Prideaux Haven in a nicely protected little cove.
The only minor setback is sporadic cell service, so internet and telephone are in and out. For those that have left Skype Messages, I have received them and when service comes in…..I will be responding when we are out of the blocked area. Jim, your microphone is still not working make sure it is not on mute! CJ – you don’t need to see with skype, only hear! Get a vidcam, then you can see.
Mike has started some varnish projects…as always, it’s while we are on vacation of some sort! A minor inconvenience dodging all the stuff hanging from our Bimini (inside) See above picture. Mike is enjoying himself immensely building fires on shore (he had a breakfast fire this morning), varnishing and now doing some great sanding projects…of course where all the newly varnished stuff is hanging to dry. I think they smacked his head instead of his butt when he was born. Oh well, we are not in a hurry to go anywhere, so hopefully all will be well by tomorrow.

The Days all seem to be melding into each other. The weather has been stupendous with sun in the day and a bit of rain at night. Just the way it should be. The little bay we are sitting in has Eagles, Otters, Ravens and Crows and a multitude of ducks and loons. Two other seperate pleasure boats have pulled in on two seperate nights. Don't they know its not summer yet!

My stove is getting a good workout with lots of meals being served (piping hot Wayne!) - I have a fully stocked fridge yet, so no need to go prawning and crabbing yet. Tommorrow off to a new location.
