ADVENTURES IN PENDER HARBOR!

The next leg of our journey takes us to "Pender Harbor" from Secret Cove. The wind was blowing about 12 knots on our stern. The Jib sail filled and we had a wonderful trip the entire way. The sun was shining and puffy white clouds filled the sky. We did not hear "the noise" but that does not mean it is gone.
Pender Harbor is beautiful natural protected harbor with many bays. We chose to dock at Garden Bay Marina. Our wireless internet is available along with a very good pub and well maintained docks. Louie dropped the crab trap and within an hour he caught one of the largest Dungeness crabs in his history of crabbing. We took the dinghy to a large well stocked grocery store and on our way back to the boat we pulled the crab trap again and found another huge Dungeness. We met a young Canadian man from Ontario. He had caught so many red rock crabs that he gave us four of them. The people we encounter are so wonderful!
After dinner we retired with anticipation of tomorrow's catch. If it continues, we may stay awhile!
