September 9, 2013 - Gorge Harbour to Lund - September 10 & 11 - Pender Harbor

 Lund has the distinction of being the end of Pacific Coastal Highway 101 that runs from Chile in South America to Lund, Canada a total of 9,445 miles. The "End of the Road" is near the entrance to spectacular Desolation Sound.


Lou had a very strange hamburger at the "Boardwalk Restaurant" in Lund.  The Flying Saucer looking thing is actually cheddar cheese that has been melted on the grill.  We were not pleased with our food and Lou told them why by writing the details of the credit card slip.



The evening was beautiful but the MOSQUITOES were tenacious and I ended up with 14 bites on any part of me that was not covered !
The tallest mast to the right is that of Seventh Heaven.
In the morning we departed Lund and sailed along Texeda Island on Malispina Strait past Powell River and then onto Pender Harbor.

It was a very hot day between 75 and 80 degrees.  We tied up at "Fisherman's Resort" .
I made Seafood Pasta with Fresh Broccoli for dinner.

Flowers must love this part of the world!

Louie is having WAY TOO MUCH FUN !
Do you think  it could be the FLOWERS?
"Beautiful"Gabriel's Trumpets" or "Angel's Trumpet's" hang from their bush in all of their splendor HOWEVER they are on the list of the 10 most poisonous plants in our region.  They contain toxins such as tropane alkaloids, scopolamine and atropine. If ingested you would hear the trumpet for the last time!


This was the view from the stern of Seventh Heaven as evening melted away into a pathway of gold.
