Lasqueti to Nelson Island


Thursday Sept 17, 2009
Leave: Lasqueti Island 0800
The sky is looking a bit brighter than yesterday, but not that great for sailing, looks like it will be a motoring day. We passed a tug pulling a VERY big barge, loaded with containers and heading for Alaska. On our travels in this area we have seen quite a few of these barges heading north. This picture is just the back of the barge, and when we saw that truck, we both said "I wouldn't want my truck to be up there!" Ha ha!
Arrive: Ballet Bay, Nelson Island 1445
Fresh bread cooking in the oven! Mmmm, smells great!

Wow, that is a huge load! I opened the photo to see it full size.

Oh! My! Gosh! That is huge! I hope you'll have more of that bread when I come aboard. I'll e-mail you after Mark and I decide which ferry I will catch...either the 9:20 or 11:20.
