Lagoon Cove

 

Lagoon Cove - 26 August

Summer has finally arrived! It was a beautiful sunny morning when we departed Potts Lagoon. Our travels took us through Beware Passage and thankfully rocks and weed are well charted presenting no difficulties so long as the captain stays vigilant.

For future reference, we checked out several small First Nation Communities and anchorages along the route. Due to Covid 19, these communities are currently closed to visitors, so we just viewed from a distance.

                                            

By the time we arrived at Lagoon Cove the temperature had climbed to the low 70’s with not a cloud in the sky.

The dock was almost empty upon arrival, but we were soon joined by several other cruising boats. The regular pot-luck evening organized by the marina was cancelled this season due to Covid and a decline of visiting vessels. 

Parm, the gal from the boat behind us arranged an outdoor gathering for Happy Hour. Outside of two short visits with family, this was our first social contact and it felt great to chat with other cruisers. We felt very safe since there are no active Covid cases here in the Broughton Islands, plus, everyone has been isolated during their weeks of travel here in this remote area of British Columbia.

After dinner, Alan brought out our gas campfire which was enjoyed by all.

 All in all, a great evening. Thanks to Parm for being the instigator.

Next morning, we departed about 9am for the 5 hour run to Green Point Rapids and the Cordero Islands anchorage, where we planned to stay a couple of days.
