Tuesday, June 21 Pender Harbour to Squirrel Cove 5 hours 53 miles

We have been blessed with beautiful weather so far.  Our journey today takes up the mainland coast to Desolation Sound.  We have seen snow capped mountains in the distance on both Vancouver Island and the mainland, but here one is much closer to beautiful snow capped peaks.  We are heading north rather rapidly so we will have plenty of time to enjoy in Alaska.  Squirrel Cove has a lovely large anchorage.  We put the dinghy down and went over to the general store and craft shop.  We brought the laptop because we can usually get online there. No such luck. It didn’t work. Oh well. We were surprised to see a sign saying that all of Squirrel Cove, the restaurant, store and small dock is for sale. Not sure what things will be like next year. We each got an ice cream cone and let Merlin run and play on the beach. Back to the boat for the evening.  http://www.cortesisland.com/squirrelcove/
