Another late night for me as my night owl kicked in. So I was still sleeping when Bill and Mike left at 7am for Clam Bay. Only 10 miles away, so no need really for me to be up early. I finally got up at 8 and departed at 9:30, getting to Clam Bay in time for lunch. I am appropriately wearing my shirt that says, “I could be a morning person, if morning happened around noon!” lol. Although there are still Strong Wind Warnings out for the Strait of Georgia south of Nanaimo, we are in the Gulf Islands using inside channels, so mostly just a light breeze. When I arrived and anchored in Clam Bay, Bill and Mike were already out exploring “The Cut” on their Kaboats. A small shallow back channel that accesses Telegraph Harbour marina and the other side of Thetis and Penelakut Islands. Once Bill got back, I shared some of the crab I caught yesterday morning back at Newcastle Island Marina Park, with him. I’ll share the rest with Mike when he comes by. I did not drop the trap in Pirates Cove, as that particular marine park it was illegal to do so. This afternoon I peddled my kayak through the cut and visited Telegraph Harbour. There are two large sail boat models back in the harbour behind the marina, and I found Mike there still exploring. While at Telegraph Harbour marina, I learned what happened to the Lady Smith Community Marina. I was there in 2018, and a year later there was some issue of the First Nation taking that land back from the marina. That marina had a small museum and some other interesting displays. Looks like some of the stuff came over to the Telegraph Harbour Marina. (Rosanne and I actually stayed at the Telegraph Harbour marina also in 2018.) One thing I have forgot to mention the last couple of days, is that there are a number of large freighters anchored among the Gulf Islands, most likely waiting to be loaded. (They seem to be sitting high in the water.)Read more
