On August 14th, we set off to Tribune Bay on Hornby Island. The wind was on our nose and it was HOT. By the time we got to the bay and anchored, we were both getting fuzzy from the heat. Mae was down below when she heard a splash. Don't worry, Mae did not have to perform a, "Man Overboard drill"...Phew! Marty could not wait to go to the beach to go swimming so he jumped off the boat instead. Mae, feeling the same way, followed him into the cooling water. Marty enjoyed the swimming so much that he did not want to get out of the water. Tribune Bay is a favorite beach area for many people. People get to this beach by land, boat ferry and even by small float plane. We discovered this day that if you have a few extra bucks, you can get flown in and out.
After dinner, Marty went for another swim. The water was so warm. He swam from boat to boat and chatted for a bit with each owner. We had finally purchased a solar heated water shower. Fantastic! We're from Prince Rupert and we never thought of having a solar shower on our boat. (We probably won't use it again now that we are home.)
