Ellen Bay, Prevost Island, BC

Sitting here in the cockpit and its absolutely still. Pink skies all around. An eagle is on one side in a tree and a heron on the other side. Heaven...

I did get Jeff to watch a Kingfisher doing his thing thru the binoculars for a couple minutes. His comment was "well I'll be damned, he got a fish".  

We really liked Nanaimo and will put in on our list as a city to visit again.

We passed through Dodd Narrows early at 1.9  kts against us and it was wild for about 5 seconds then just fine.  After we heard the traffic as many boats tried to go thru and logs got flushed into it from a nearby logboom. Glad we went they early.

Gorgeous run down Trincomali Channel

but still not that many boats are out. We decided on this anchorage because winds should stay from the north for another day. It's mid July and we are the only ones here!  Even the popular anchorages nearby are not very full.

It's our last night in Canada and Jeff and the Colonel had halibut to celebrate. Tomorrow we are off to Roche Harbor; a place we always love.
