Come on up and cruise some summer. There are lots of uncrowded areas too if you want to stay away from the Flugtag group.
Lol, yeah, I should go check it out sometime. Maybe when I get done this Vancouver gig of house and pet sitting for my kids who are out in Nootka…and like I said; semantics.
You, me and a dozen or so others,(Retreat, Sunchaser, Gwaii Haanas, Northern Spy etc.) know what you are talking about, but most never put a bow in Grace, Trevenen, Lancelote, Okeover or horrors, snuck into Theodosia or up past Walsh Cove and around Dean Point into Pryce in the middle of winter. They only know Desolation Sound as Eveleigh and Tenedos in July. Maybe Teakern Arm.
Just like most scoot right by Jervis Inlet without a hint of what’s tucked up there.
Even Mrs. (Ms? geeze, I don’t know any more) Hays has a better handle on DS than Jimmy Pattison, who’s been spilling good scotch up there for 35 years, without ever jumping in the drink. Used to see Trev Deeley’s 57 Canoe Cove up there. Never saw him on deck, or with the TV off.
My first job, at 16, I worked out of Lund, running “groceries” to all the government wharves up and down both sides of the Redondas. Probably have great grandkids in Church House or Bishop Landing. Mansons? Maybe.
Trivia;
Desolation Sound Marine Park is Provincial not Federal and was created (along with the most of the land and marine Provincial parks) by the 70s “Socialist” Gov. Don Lockstead, a once Powell River Mayor, was the push behind Desolation Sound Marine Park.
Anyway, back on topic, Dave done good today. Experienced typical August in Georgia Strait. Flat calm and unpredictable. Tomorrow they’ll be skinny dippin’ in the salty hot tub and Oliver will be working his new stabilized nocs.
Dave, toss a banana to that monkey on Ascente, will ya.
