We timed the narrows on an ebb tide and it was a sleigh ride reaching speeds of 12 knots at times. We felt very fortunate that "The Mysterious" noise did not reoccur! We reached Lagoon Cove in the Broughton archipelago by 3pm. We enjoyed the 5pm "Get together" and met some new interesting people and saw some old acquaintances. As usual the freshly caught prawns were provided by the Marina. There is no cell phone service or wireless internet here. Bill, the owner of Lagoon Cove has graciously provided internet for his guests to use.
We have been prawning and crabbing with some luck here. I was able to pick some fresh young Sea Asparagus and I am currently soaking it in fresh water to remove some of the salt. I will blanch it for 3 minutes and it will be ready to use in salads or as a vegetable which can be sauteed in virgin olive oil and garlic.
Tomorrow we will go to Mound Island and hunt for native trading beads.
