We left Boughey Bay about 1240 and made for the next set of rapids at the North end of the channel. Slack water was to be about 1400 but we got there about 1330 and went right on through. This one was so narrow that they put range makers on either end of the channel. Tracy stood behind me and looked at the one off the stern while I watched the one ahead. Got right through with no problems.
Up around Minstrel Island and into Lagoon Cove(50 35.882N 126 18.845 W). A great place to stop with very nice people to help out. We filled the tanks with water and tied up for the night. They have a get together every evening at 1700 where everyone in the marina brings some food and BIll, the owner brings in the daily catch of prawns for everyone to pork out on. He catches them everyday. We met up with several other couples plus the rest of the staff and had a great evening telling each other about ourselves and what each of us has done and where we are planning to go. It was a special evening as it has been quite q while since we have attending any kind of gathering like this. Most marinas just tie you up and take your money. Not here. They make the stop very enjoyable. Horseshoe pits and an exercise area(chop wood) are provided as well as a burn barrel to get rid of paper trash. Lots of trails for hiking and we even topped off the propane tanks while we were here.
Well, we are off North again today. Not sure where but we will find a place to drop the hook.
