June17th - 18th Campbell River to Port Neville.

We departed Fisherman's Wharf in Campbell River on the 11:26 AM slack tide through Seymour narrows and rode the ebb tide sometimes reaching 12 knots north to Port Neville. We enjoy stopping and saying "Hello" to Lorna the Post Mistress and keeper of the "Old Port Neville Store" which was started by her family in 1895. She lives here alone now that her daughter attends school in Campbell River. On my afternoon hike I enjoyed watching Bald Eagles, a herd of deer and a young black bear all within one hour.
