We were pleasantly surprised as we explored Malaspina and Okeover Inlets. They support many aquaculture oyster farms however they do not take away from the peaceful beauty of the inlet on the rim of Desolation Sound. We found our way to the Government Dock now run by the community. As we approached the small dock we hesitated, unsure we could fit. Two local woman Flo and the Wharfinger Rhonda assured us there was plenty of depth and space at the dock. We had a cross wind that kept blowing us away from the dock. We threw a stern line to Rhonda and when she tied it off the motion of the boat caused the dock to pull forward and the stairs to the wharf to come off the tracks. She assured us that it had happened before and this incident could help to have it permanently fixed.
We found a wonderful pictograph on the walls of the inlet across from the dock. We delighted in our exceptional dinner at the Laughing Oyster Restaurant.
