Day 410 – anchorage in Oak Bay - August 19, 2012

We have decided to spend a second night in Oak Bay (yes, it’s that good).  In the mid-morning we heard from One September and Jim’s Joy and they have decided to join us here.  Fred took the dinghy to the entrance of Oak Bay and served as a guide to get them safely into the anchorage (there are a few tricky rocks that you have to navigate around to safely enter the harbor). 

We did some dinghy exploring in the afternoon and then with Karma and Jim’s Joy we had cocktails and snacks on One September.  Two other boat crews from the next anchorage over also joined us.  Both of those couples spend the summer on their boat in the Great Lakes and then the winter in a warmer place (Florida and Arizona).  Both couples were very interested in hearing about our adventures on the Loop, although neither one is ready to start their own Loop.

we have seen loons here in Oak Bay on previous trips to the North
Channel and this trip was no exception


what a beautiful bird


not all granite looks alike, some is very rough like this

we caught this picture of a loon while we were out on the
