Montague Harbour

We stayed an extra night in Montague Harbour. It was quite and nice, so why not?

We woke to rain this morning. Low clouds hanging on the hills. It was not a complete surprise. I seem to remember something about rain in the forecast. With the rain and low clouds, it’s very quiet this morning. There is little sign of life on the other boats. The water is absolutely flat and calm.

It was a lazy morning reading and relaxing.

The sun came out just after noon. We took the kayaks on a great circumnavigation of Montague Harbor. It was very nice. I have a bunch of video, but I don’t know that the current connection can upload it. I’ll save it for another time, exciting as it is …

Spencer Spit to Montague Harbour

We’ve been out of Internet contact for a few days so I am trying to get all the posts caught up.

A few morning sprinkles and a nice rainbow as sunrise greeted us.

Just for fun – New Header Images

Just for fun, I created a few new header images and configured the blog to randomly select the image on each page load. No particular reason, I just like the photos and got bored with the old image.

The first image was taken just after we left Point Hudson marina. Headed south to Seattle.

Headed south for Seattle near the entrance to Hood Canal. This is about as calm as it gets.

Gulf Islands – Observations and Errata

We just finished two weeks in the Gulf Islands of British Columbia. We’ve been going there for a number of years. We try to visit old favorites and make some new discoveries each time we visit. This year, the weather was fantastic. Some years are sunny, some are wet, some a combination (this is most common). We had sun, warm, and flat seas almost the entire time. It clouded up one afternoon, rained in the evening and through the night, and was clear and sunny the next morning. Perfect!

This is what boating is about.

Sidney to Victoria

Another fine morning as we headed south from Sidney to Victoria. The trip took us just about three hours. Once again the water was amazingly calm with almost no wind. Spectacular.

Otter Bay to Sidney

The RCMP boat Higgitt departed this morning. An interesting boat. They need more antennas.

Shortly thereafter, it was time for us to make the short hop over to Sidney.
