It’s on Quadras Island and we’re there. We’re actually at the Taku Resort since the “town” marina didn’t have any space. Turns out this was a lucky break. This is a lovely spot about a mile around the point from town. Very peaceful and nice neighbors, versus the hustle and bustle of the main marina, which is also adjacent to the ferry – which is noisy, makes big wake, etc. we’re here mainly to do some laundry and resupply. Turns out the very well stocked grocery is a short walk away (ten minutes) and they do “dock delivery”. We’re going to take advantage of that tomorrow for some serious shopping as this is the last real grocery for quite a while.
So…our internet is still a little shaky, maybe we can upload some pics tomorrow. We’ll see. In the mean time – after getting the jumper cables from the nice powerboat “Griz” yesterday, by running the engine we have been able to charge the starter battery and are now “independent” again. I think I will buy some jumpers though if we find some. Anyway, the new alternator is purring along and all is good. Boy did we luck out with the Squirrel Cove connection even though it meant 16 miles of hiking over two days to get it. Part of the adventure, eh?

We’re going to stay here for a couple days, then head to the northeast corner of Quadra Island to a spot called Octopus Islands. It’s another BC Provincial park – supposed to be beautiful and with lots of hiking. In the mean time we’re enjoying some “Marina time” with requisite cocktails on the dock with the other boats who are here. Nice people and we – especially Ann – are enjoying the cameraderie.
