BUDDY BOATING, SOUTH IN DESOLATION SOUND

Sunday, July 24th (day 117) KWATSI BAY mainland Coast Mountains B.C.

John set his ground tackle, rafted Alaskan Sea-Duction on our starboard.

and Endless Tymes rafted on our port side.

Chris and his famous sour dough loaf he makes on the grill, every other day!
What a wonderful treat that was!
He is actually a professional baker / manager of a huge baking factory.

Roxy "the wonder dog" waiting for a ride ashore in the dink. She's a great traveler!

John is ready to scope out possibilities for setting a crab pot.

Brigette and Kay heading to check out the small marina and gift shop.

Views at anchor in Kwatsi Bay.

The rafted trio.
We had an exquisite brunch on Endless Tymes,
crab cakes, hot links, baked beans and fresh sour dough!
Followed by several very competitive yatzee games.

This black bear greeted us in the morning. He was rather camera shy... on his own agenda.

View from the dink.

Dolphin splashing about.

Beautiful morning for the cruise over to Thompson Sound were we spent another night rafted together.

Wednesday, July 27th, (day 120) PORT NEVILLE

The Beachcombers, Kay Brigette and Roxy.

The original homestead built 1906 by the Hansons.
It was a stop over general store and post office.

The barn was added to the ranch. They farmed and raised sheep.

We pretty much had the place to ourselves and took full advantage of that.

I made pizzas for another happy hour, while the guys planned
tomorrows passage to Shoal Bay. 

We enjoyed another great sunset after another fine dinner.

The pub is in an old home at Shoal Bay.
Everyone relaxes on the deck.

It's a busy place this time of year.
