John Henrichs (FPB 64 Tiger) recommended that we head to Montague Harbour. There is a great French return there along with a good pub. Well unfortunately, the French restaurant was not open yet and the pub was only open for lunch and we had arrived after lunch.
Next thought was to do an island tour by scooter, but Deb was really so we cancelled that.
Next thought was to visit a local marine park for a walkabout which was very nice.
On our way back to the boat in the dinghy we went out into the straight where there are numerous pods of Orcas – one resident pod with a female that is 100 plus years old. No joy.
On the way back to the boat, we thought we we’re seeing double as there was another FPB64 anchored near us. Bill Henry on Sarah Sarah. He has seen us on AIS and stopped when he saw we had pulled into Montague Harbor. We had a great evening together as Bill joined us for stuff on the barber.
Bill was off early the next morning, but, like us, he is headed north and we hope to meet up again. Avatar is planning the same so hopefully there will be a photo op with three FPB 64s.
Nest morning we were off to Nanaimo thru the Dodd Narrows. Impressive as currents can get up to 9 knots. We saw 3.
Salt water tidal rapids are a major deal up here. Our next will be thru Malibu Rapids on the way to Princess Louisa Inlet.
