Merlin on the beach at Blind Channel Resort |
Emerald Star is in the middle |
Again we have beautiful weather. We passed through Hole-in-the-Wall rapids and Okisollo rapids near slack water and then headed out into Discovery Channel and out into Johnstone Straight. Johnstone Straght separates the norther half of Vancouver Island from the mainland. The water can also be terrible but it was smooth and sunny and we had a lovely cruise up to Blind Channel Resort in Mayne channel. This place has about twelve 80’ docks and some nasty currents. It’s just around the bend from green point rapids and they can ruin your day. We were sliding side ways out in the channel, but it calmed down closer to the docks. Fred get very worried when we start to go sideways. We didn’t have a reservation but were only the third boat on the dock. This place is first class. They come down and grabbed lines while we were docking and informed us that the restaurant was open. They have a well stocked grocery store with liquor (very expensive in Canada) and a giftshop attached. The resort was started and is still run by a German family. We had a nice German meal for dinner. Fred had a goulash and I had weiner schnitzel. http://blindchannel.com/
