Another favourite spot that we share with the
newcomers. We ended up in the middle bay
of Swordfish as we couldn’t get an anchor down in the first bay. We felt like kelp farmers, three sets of the
anchor yielded 20 lbs of kelp on the anchor so we thought it best to go to the
middle bay. This time we anchor bum to
bum with Escape and it also worked out fine.
Mike heads out Salmon fishing while the others go
gunkholing. A nice 25 lb spring is
brought in and shared with the group. We
celebrate Colin’s 65th birthday with passion fruit cheesecake
(Compliments of Heather) and a large bonfire on the beach.
A deluge of rain finds some holes where Mike drilled some
holes to put in the track for our canvas, with both (Mikes and Mine) underwear
drawers filling up with water. The
deluge only lasted about 20 minutes, but it was enough to soak up both drawers
of drawers! Good thing tomorrow is
laundry day!
An overnight stop in Shearwater to re-provision, do laundry
and meet up with Rick and Faye. The
dreaded reservation for moorage trick happened to Rick and Faye again. Reservation, no problem, show up, problem, no
room??? We didn’t reserve, and ended up on
the breakwater, c’est la view. Clean dry
underwear and a nice introductory meal for Rick and Faye (anchored in the
bay). We did see a brother for Ruby that
looked almost the same sans white sock!
Lots of building going on around the marina with an add on
to the restaurant and more staff quarters up above. Good groceries this time around and we even
saw fireworks for July 1 – the urge to purchase was great for Mike, but he did
resist!
