May 20, 2013 Lund to Stop Over at Campbell River, Seymour Narrows, and Thurston Bay

We departed Lund at 8 AM and arrived at Campbell River
fueled up, purchased provisions and ice and headed for
Seymour Narrows for the 2:40 PM slack Ebbing Tide.

We rode the current from 8 to 10 knot to Nodales Channel.
We anchor at one of our favorite places Thurston Bay.  It is a great place
to hide from Johnstone Strait where the wind and currents can be extreme.

We depart Thurston Bay at 8 AM to take advantage of the ebbing
current.  In the distance a Dragon like cloud winds its way across the strait.
As we approached Havannah Channel we looked forward to spending the night
after our 8 hour passage.  We had intended to anchor but then we noticed  a float house
and some new docks in the very back of the inlet. We called "Port Harvey Resort"
George, the owner and builder welcomed us and even though there were no
services this early in the season, we spent the night tied to the docks.
