Rebecca Spit
After dinner last night we rode our bikes over to Rebecca Spit, it was such a beautiful evening. The scenery on the spit is really breath taking, pictures do not do it justice.Our internet service will become more and more sketchy from this point on so I will not be able to blog as much.May 23, 2006Time: 0830Lv: Heriot Bay
Course: Strait of Georgia > Hoskyn Channel > Octopus Islands M. P., Quadra Island
Our plan for today is to anchor at the north end of Quadra in Octopus Islands Marine Park. The weather forecast is for light winds from the SE, but not enough to sail. We motored out a little way from Heriot Bay where we had an internet connection. Jerrry did a little stock trading while I tried some jigging. Caught some seaweed, but that was all. Our route took us up Hoskyn Channel between Quadra and Read Island. The most excitement we had was going through Surge Narrows…. Our instruments told us we were doing 11.8 knots SOG (speed over ground). That is the fastest we’ve had our boat going.
We arrive just outside Octopus Islands and put our prawn trap out in 250’.Arv: Octopus Islands Marine Park

Yes, Rebecca Spit is certainly a beautiful spot. I don't recognize the Heriot Bay Inn from the water. I do remember our dinner and evening spent there. It was fun. Did you get in touch with Susan?
Love, Mom
Thanks for sending me this link. I'm enjoying all your pictures and posts and will be following your journey all the way. Happy sailing!

Kathy and Jerry, You both look so happy. I enjoy your link and all the stories your telling us. It makes me feel like I am there. I also enjoyed looking at the layout of your sail boat. Although we "Joe and I" came sailing with you last year I had no idea how nice the inside of your boat was. It looks real cozy and home like. No wonder you can stay away for such a long period. It is a home away from home.
I am looking forward to your next posting.
Till then

By the way, I just realize I do not have to be anonymous. I can go by my nick name Sos
