A four boat flotilla of Loopers departed from the anchorage in Oak Bay just after 8:00am heading for another one of our favorite anchorages – Beardrop Harbor. It was a short trip and all four boats were settled in before 11:00am. We were thrilled to see our friends David and Jacque on Outport were also anchored in the harbor – we will definitely stop by to catch up on what they’ve been up to.
We had a leisurely lunch on board and then headed out in the dinghy so we could climb the rocks south of the harbor. We stopped by Karma and picked up Ivy to go climbing with us. What fun to show someone new the beauty of the granite rocks that make up this part of the North Channel!
After we returned to the boat we got a visit from Outport and they invited us over for cocktails and snacks. We had a great time catching up on their travels (and of course telling them about ours). I certainly hope we cross paths with them again someday as they are a very fun couple to spend time with.

| heading through Litte Detroit - this channel used to make me very uncomfortable because it is so narrow - after all the places we've been on the Loop, it still feels narrow, but not nearly so scary |
