| Puffy clouds on our way through the Thulin Passage. |
The weather was wonderful and I ended up with more pictures than I could include. Here are some of the outtakes.
We left Powell River under blue skies with puffy while clouds. The wind was mild so it was easy going.
Our first night was at Squirrel Cove on Cortes Island. We came by boat, but you can visit Cortes via Quadra Island using BC Ferries from Campbell River on Vancouver Island.

| Calm water at the Squirrel Cove public dock for our overnight stay. |
There were a few towering cumulus clouds, especially over the mainland, but no rain either night we were out.
 |
| Dark clouds but no rain or wind. |
Our second night was at nearby Refuge Cove on West Redonda Island. It's a popular resupply spot for boaters coming to enjoy the Desolation Sound Marine Park.

We made it home with good weather holding. There were lots of reflections on the calm seas while heading into the Westview South Harbour in our hometown of Powell River, BC.

ReplyDeleteWe've had a very unusual summer so far. It's a lot cooler than expected, rain showers every week or so, and no smoke from fires. Maybe the temps and rain have something to do with that. Hope so. The last two years were terrible in BC. - Margy
DeleteLooks so beautiful and an ideal boating vacation! We would love to do something like this, but (sigh, so many beautiful places, so little time)....thanks for letting me experience the joy vicariously.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about time. Seems like we are never in one place very long, especially now that we have the RV to add into the mix. - Margy
Deletethis is a beautiful place. Too bad I can´t travel any more :(
ReplyDeleteThat's what's so great about the Internet, you can travel anywhere in the world. - Margy
DeleteMargy - beautiful scenes of BC. Summer and the living is easy!
ReplyDeleteWe love summer up here, but all seasons are specials. Living in Los Angeles for most of my life I was used to not having distinct seasons. It has been wonderful to finally experience them. - Margy
DeleteLooks beautiful and idyllic. Thanks for sharing

DeleteHow lovely - I would love to do that one day but it's bc ferries for me lol
ReplyDeleteThe ferry rides are good too. I love the ones we take from Vancouver to Powell River. I see on your blog that you got to out with a fishing guide. You did great bringing home all those salmon for your freezer. - Margy
