Catching up on the last few days

Well, it's taken a few days to get back to "connectivity".  So will give a travel-log summary ( with several pictures).  After Ganges, Saltspring Island) we made a short hop to Prevost Island.  Privately held by one family since 1912, a park has recently been been added so that we could now go ashore.  A new home overlooking Selby Cove suggests the family needed some finances and offered some of the island to the Provence. After two relaxing days we started moving again. The plan was to motor, but a small breeze prompted a change of plans.

Yes, we did sail for five hours . . .no, we did not make any progress in the direction we had planned to go.  It was fun, but also pretty funny to look at the GPS trace as we tacked back and forth showing drawing a line and redrawing our path over the same stretch of ground.



So. . . . We went for Plan B and anchored in Montague Harbor again.  When we left the next morning we also did not go very far because we scored what has to be THE anchorage in the Gulf Islands.



At the Southeast tip of Wallace Island is Panther cove.  We had this one all to ourselves. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.











Wow . . . It is mid-August, the weather is fantastic and we love it!

That day we also took walk to Chivers point.

Oh, it looks so lovely up there...we hit a high of 110 on Saturday and it is supposed to "cool" down to 99 by Friday. At least we aren't being hit with huge fires like those in CA, OR, and WA. Sounds like you are having a great time...keep it up!
