May 2010: Silva Bay to Harmony Island Marine Park

We left our friends Jules, Mary, Julia and Louise in Gabriola; as we had a week to fill before we are to be in Cowichan Bay to meet Craig's Brother Guy and his family. Jan made a valid argument to head Northeast for Jedidiah Island on our way to Princess Louisa Inlet! So we headed off once again.....

We past this beautiful home where Jules & Mary were staying as we left Gabriola Island!!!

We had beautiful weather and sat on the deck while the autopilot did the work!

Craig playing tugboat Captain helping to stern tie.
The stern tie ended up being 500 feet long or 1000 feet of rope!

First stop was Jedidiah Island, all anchorages were full,
so we met up with Ted & Terry on SV Ciao Bella at Boho Bay on Lasqueti Island

We left early the next morning and headed for Harmony Islands
Friell Lake Falls are part of the scenery!

We anchored in a very small area called Kipling Cove in the Harmony Islands.

Kozad was stern tied to a tree as there is not enough area to swing at anchor!

Much of Harmony Islands is privately owned so our stern tie was an attempt to keep it legal without losing our line! We were very much alone there as we explored this picturesque area on our dinghy. And to bed early, as we planned an early departure to make slack tide at Malibu Rapids; which is quite a "challenging" entrance to Princess Louisa Inlet!
