Here's Captan Howard relaxing after setting the anchor for the night.
Norm and Helen and I relax for the evening.
We got an early start Friday morning and made our way past Earl's Cove (where the ferry to and from the Lower Sunshine Coast lands)and entered Sechelt Inlet where we cruised past Egmont.
Our arrival at this point was timed to coincide with the slack tide so we could go though Skookumchuk Narrows. You'll recall a previous post where we were almost stuck by a falling tree while walking the trail to the narrows. The following series of pictures were taken as we went through the narrows. Without incident, I might add.You'll see the water perculates pretty good even when the tide is slack. This was really true on our return trip on Tuesday, August 8th. In fact, we were all hanging on for the ride and couldn't get any pictures of the return passage through the rapids.
We arrived at the Government Dock at Porpoise Bay shortly after Noon and stayed there until Tuesday when we made the return trip home. The Wooden Boat Festival was held here from Saturday to Monday inclusive and we had many folks come to look at the boats and come aboard for a closer look.
One of the most popular ways to raise money this weekend for the Coast Guard Auxillary was rides on their inflatable rescue boat. Here are Howard and Norm showing how much they enjoyed their ride!
As you can see, we had awesome weather and a great trip!
