Slower than dialup at Blind Channel

Here is the deal.  I've just spent the last hour and a half trying to upload 13 photos and it's just not right to be this frustrated on vacation.  But then again, it's incredible that we are miles from any road and we still have cell service and wifi (snail-fi).

We left Comox early headed for Desolation Sound,  passing the town of Lund which is the starting point of Hwy 1 and the last road we will see for a while.  We anchored in Tenodos Bay and caught the first fish, a spiny rockfish about 10 inches long.  We gathered a bucket full of oysters the next morning, pulled anchor and headed for Refuge Cove and a big hamburger for lunch.  Funny thing, the Health department shut down the grill so we settled for ham and turkey sandwiches in the boat. (saved a few $$).  The next destination was Teakerne Arm and we anchored for the evening at Talbot Cove.  It was Trudy's Birthday so we all got drunk and went skinny dipping, just kidding of course.  Michele cooked a great dinner and we had birthday cake for dessert.

Today was a fun day, rain and all, because we took a few photos of a whale, ran three rapids and stopped for just a few minutes and caught a 10 lb Ling Cod for dinner.  I was behind the wheel when we passed through a swirl and the boat pitched sideways, dumping Trudy's cake on the floor.  We saved the upside down cake and slipped into Blind Channel for the evening.  Hot Showers, clean laundry, a fish dinner to die for and more ice to get us through to Lagoon Cove, which is the beginning of the Broughton Islands.

Stay tuned
