Some of the notes from Marcia and I on the trip.
Favorite Stay
Our favorite stay was a Montague Harbor for 2 days. We were able to get out and do some hiking.
Favorite Location
Marcia says Pages at Silva Bay and Steve says Telegraph Harbor. Both were very relaxing and would could have stayed another day at either location.
Best Store
Montague Harbour and Pages at Silva Bay. None of the “stores” that we came across were very well stocked, but Montague and Silva seem to have more than the other stores along the way.
Biggest Surprise
How fast the current was in the pass by Silva Bay.
Thankful For
Being able to do a trip like this.
Didn’t Like (would do different)
Too many one night stays. More 2 night stays with exploring.
Should Have Had
Marcia says garlic. Steve says wasp traps, but the wasp traps would have really only been needed at Silva Bay.
Fixed
The foot pedal button to drop the anchor with the windlass was not working. I took that apart part way through the trip and cleaned the electrical contacts to get it working again.
Marcia worked on refinishing many cabinet doors, and replacing the cabinet door knobs.
Looks like a great trip. Some day we will join you on an excursion.
I hope so. See you soon.
