Day 61 - 62 - Laura Cove - Desolation Sound


Forbes Bay




Laura Cove







Native Summer camp







So busy they are parking outside


Well if its piece and quiet you want and some solitude - don't come to Desolation sound in the summer. Both Mike and I are having a bit of culture shock with almost 50 boats in Laura Cove and over 100 boats in Prideux Haven (Next door)....

We run into some friends from the yacht club and tie up with them for the two nights. Half of the yacht club is up here!

We gunkholed to Forbes Bay this morning and then over to the other side where we show our friends the old hippie village in the woods. Trees have fallen on most of the structures and we are not surprised to see that most of it is going back to nature. There are a few of the houses still standing - they're more like glorified tree forts than houses, but back in the 60's this probably was commune living at its best. Except for maybe in the winter, but we do notice that most of the little homes have insulation in them so perhaps it was not all that cold.

A fish fry of our self caught halibut and some french fries for dinner and then we pack up and head down to Pender Harbour and then home for Monday.
