July 1, 2017 - Port Harvey

Port Harvey:  Arrived around 5:00 pm after a relatively calm passage up through the all the rapids. 2.5’ chop, a little spray on the windows but quite manageable. We arrive to full docks (reservations a must for July 1, which we thankfully had) to the rousing sounds of Capt Charlie and all the guests decked out in their Canada Day regalia.  Gail and George were busy cooking up Ribs and Corn for dinner (Yum) and we settled in for dinner and a lively game of cards.  At 10:00 pm the fireworks started.  A show that could rival Canada Place display!  After around a 45 minute show, we finished our cards and to bed we headed.  Much to our surprise, dinner and fireworks were compliments of George and Gail, how generous is that!  We thank them so much for being there and their hospitality.  For those boaters that frequent it, send your emails off in support of George and his Marina.  And even those that don’t, if you don’t respond, they won’t be there for you when you make the trek to the Broughtons.  There are too many of the small destination boat resorts that are disappearing.  We must support them.  Heidi Soltau - hsoltau@rdmw.bc.ca
