August 22nd Pender Harbour to Halkett Bay
departure 6:00 am 59 degrees smokey skies
After a relaxing evening of just bobbing in the bay, we both had a much needed good night's sleep. Having to awake at 5:30 was less painful because of it.
Before we left on this wondrous trip, our children gave us DVD series. We have managed to view all of the "Blue Blood" and "Deadwood" box sets. They came in handy when, after a long tiring day of boating, we could just tune in and tune out. We still have "Justified" to finish.
Today is Ada's first day in Kindergarten. We talked to her last night on FaceTime. Her mom said she was feeling a bit nervous about starting school. Hopefully, our pep talk helped calm the butterflies.
Georgia Strait was kind to us the last two days. Enjoyed and appreciated the calmness especially with the poor visibility caused by the smoke.
It was 72 degrees when we arrived at noon in Halkett Bay. The water temperature was 70 degrees and some people on the many boats joining us there were enjoying a swim.
All the bait we had in our freezer was added to our crab traps and off we went to deliver lunch to the local crab population. While out there a boat came by to retrieve their traps and reported to us that they had no keepers. We still had high hopes for a catch. Wouldn't it be great to celebrate the end of our trip with fresh crab!
