July 12 – Shearwater


We finally get on the dock at Shearwater, the reservation that Rick made held.  Gotta love that satellite phone!  We run into more BYC’ers – “Celiadh” and have dinner with Bill and Eileen that night.  We are not guaranteed a second night stay, so early in the morning, we (Rick, Faye and myself) run over to Bella Bella in the dinghy to see what’s new. 

If ever a place should get an award for the best makeover, it’s Bella Bella (known also as Waglisla).  The newly built store is fully stocked with an in-store bakery….mmmmm  fresh bread and fresh raisin bread.  Produce is not wilty and plenty of it.  Dairy has some good long dates on it!  Should have not spent all our money on food in Shearwater, but should have stopped here.  Oh well, for next time!

The beaches are all cleaned up, the people super friendly and the new longhouse is still being built.  The display centre is a must see!
