CHATHAM/DISCOVERY ISLANDS

We went with Julie, Erin and Hailey on an overnight cruise, and got back day before yesterday. Instead of turning right at the harbour entrance to go to Albert Head, we turned left and went over to the Chatham/Discovery Islands off Oak Bay. Hailey's young eyes spotted the blow of the gray whale that's been hanging around, in Enterprise Channel, so we hung out and watched it for a bit.(Sorry, no pics -- sometimes you can either HAVE the experience, or you can RECORD the experience!)

Here's where we ended up anchoring.... it was lovely. Haro Strait, San Juan Island and Mt. Baker in the background...

A whale-watching excursion cutting through...


It was busy and we weren't 'tucked in' quite as much as I'd like, but it went fine ...

Today we're off the dock again, this time on another knitting cruise -- it looks like we'll have seven or eight guests, and I think this time we *will* go to Albert Head -- we just have to anchor further out than we're used to. I'm looking forward to it!
