July 1 - Fury Cove

Happy Canada Day every one -
Is it stinking hot where u are? We have never seen it so hot as it is up here.  We can only imagine how hot it is down on the lower mainland !
Watched the news last night and due the overwhelming smoke from all the forest fires, sure looks awful down there.
Went to  Duncanby for a drink today via dinghy and filled up with a bit of dinghy fuel.  $1.60 lt for gas, 45.00 per night for power if you stay on the docks.  A bit rich for us.  Glad to see many happy fisherpeople around an that Duncanby is busy.

Beautiful moon rise tonight.

June 30 - Fury Cove

Sunset at Fury Cove

Roaming the beach to cool off
2 days spent trying to evade the heat at Fury Cove.  We thought that it was time for a rest for the weary travellers and a few days on the beach for the girls and fishing for the boys.  Tons of fish caught off of Calvert Island, but no room in the freezer, so catch and release will be the order of the day!  Lots of laughs, good time and sightseeing.
We went into Goose Bay which has seen a few upgrades and it looks like they might try and make it into a fishing lodge.  Locked up tight so no-one to ask!
Black Gold (Jim and Brenda Rough) is just getting ready for their upcoming season.  Good to see their growth and we wish them a successful fishing season and full house of guests.
Lemon Drops, Corona and dinner on the beach

Kind of says it all

June 29 - Hidey Hole to Fury Cove

A great crossing today - The 40 knot winds forecast did not materialize.  Sometimes its best just to stick your nose out and "Go fer it"......

June 28 - Hidey Hole

"Osprey" Coming through the hidey hole entrance
A great day, Gulf Island, Raven Spirit and Reunion arrived today after slogging their way up Johnson Strait.  We had a great dinner hosted by Reunion and the fog stayed away as did the rain!  Quiet couple of days while the boys go fishing (and Pat!)
