Day 9 - Cortez Island - Gorge Harbour

Petroglyhs outside Gorge Harbour
Where's the Anchor Winch?


A short 6 or 7 mile trip from Refuge Cove to Cortez Island into Gorge Harbour. Some great Petroglyphs at the entrance mark a bay we haven't stayed in for at least 15 years. I beleive that the docks are still the same as they were 15 years ago! We're lucky we didn't fall through them. We did get the motorbike off and we rode around the island until the wind chill forced us back to the boat. We managed to see the majority of he island in about hour. In spite of the shabbiness of the docks, the restaurant is worth another stop. The food is excellent and the service was excellent. The sun is shining brightly but the winds that kicked up in the afternoon were bone chilling. Serves us right for laughing at all the snow that was had in the lower mainland and Nanaimo.
During dinner last night, we were phoned by our rowdy friends who were playing cards - had we had better internet service last night, Mike could have played cards via vidcam and conference? Too bad Mike lost his side bets with Wayne and Brenda (methinks the game was rigged!
