On Aug. 8th, we got underway at 6:30 a.m. so we could make our way to catch the slack tide through Active Pass. It was foggy so we were careful.
We made our way to “Telegraph Harbour” on Thetis Island. Wendy, a friend and colleague, told us that if we do get to Thetis Island, we should call up her sister. So we did. We went over to Nancy and Mark’s summer palace on the waterfront of Thetis. They took us for a drive around Thetis Island before bringing us to their cottage/home. They worked hard over the past 16 years to turn a shack cabin into a very nice home.
When we returned to our boat, we met a young couple who were one third owners of a cute wooden sailboat. They had just arrived from a long trek across the Strait of Georgia. They scared themselves a bit as it was a rougher and longer crossing than they had anticipated. We brought them over for drinks and reassured them that everything they did on their trip over were good choices. They seemed happier when they left, but that could have been the drinks.
