It was a little bit foggy and cool this morning, but the fog lifted enough rather early. Left Lagoon Cove around 9:30 with a couple of other boats at the same time, and headed down Chancellor Channel. We looked for bears on the way down since we had seen our first one here on the way up, but no such luck. Very soon the sun burned off all the fog and we had a beautiful warm sunny day as we arrived in Port Harvey.

Both George and Gail were there this time, so it was good to be able to talk to them both. Sirena was already there as was Beau-Dinky III as they had both stayed for the better weather tomorrow. After we got there, then Tahsis joined us again, and then Emerald Star showed up from Kwatsi. And then CanTu came in behind us. So just like that, there were a bunch of boats in. George also got a visit from some neighbours. And then Emerald City and a sailboat both anchored out just off the dock. It seemed like there were quite a few boats positioning for the trip south.

After a bite to eat, we had a relaxing afternoon where I sat in the sun and rolled my shorts up to try and get a tan on my legs and pretend I had a summer. And did some knitting. And some dock kibitzing with everyone. The wind came up a fair amount in the afternoon at the dock as it can do in Port Harvey, so it was quite breezy. But as long as you kept out of the breeze, it was lovely. Some folks got together for some drinks on the dock while it was still sunny, and had a mini Happy Hour. We headed over with our plates etc and then George and Gail delivered the pizza's fresh from the wood pizza oven. EG, SB, Tahsis, Emerald Star, and CanTu all sat around and had the best pizza I've tasted in a long time. Couldn't believe how soft and fresh the crust was. So wonderful and melt in your mouth.

But this is the Broughton's so it didn't take long before it was cool again. Back for multiple fleeces, and then over to EG for some evening TV entertainment.
