Away Heriot Bay Quadra Island

Coming back to civilization is a bit of a shock. We docked at the Heriot Bay Hotel Marina, got our laundry done and had a scrumptous halibut and chip dinner. Next day we replenished the larder, visited the second hand store and Rich and Jack went off to the Indian Cultural Center. Donna made a terrific prime rib dinner and we said our goodbyes for the summer as they will now go off to Desolation to join up with other RCYC members and we will travel south.

We leave at 6:00 a.m. -- with a beautiful sunrise coming down from the heavens.

With a course dead straight south, we cruise 5 hours down to Hornby Island where beautiful Tribune Bay offers a wonderful sunny afternoon of relaxation. The white sandy beach is littered with kids, dogs, parents and all type of watercraft for having fun. It's great to hear kids voices again -- makes us miss our grandkids even more.



Reading and relaxing up on the Command Bridge

Skipper takes a rest too.....


And we end our day with a gorgeous sunset on the bay -- and almost a full moon. We will head off to Nanaimo tomorrow and then through the southern gulf islands once more.
