The Maiden Voyage (Gulf Islands)

Well, this is it.  The maiden voyage; no one but Ed and myself.  It was a bit scary at first, as we didn't know exactly where we were going.  Sure the map looked simple, but actually doing it......Poets Cove, South Pender Island (Gulf Islands)

We moored at Beaumont Marine Park, $12.00 per night.  Our first attempt at picking up a mooring buoy was a  sucess.  This photo is from the campground looking across the bay to Poets Cove Resort and Marina.

We took the dinghy to the resort for Happy Hour and Appy's.

A golden hue reflects from the sun setting.  A perfect evening sunset.

Robin and Jim arrived a few days later.  Ed couldn't wait to say hello.

The 4 of us hiked up Mount Norman. 

Little did we know that Mt. Norman was an advanced course.

The view of Bedwell Harbor was worth the hike. 

Float Planes land everywhere around the islands.  Amazing way to travel.

An Eskimo Inushuk welcomed us to the park on South Pender Island.

We anchored alongside Robin and Jim for a few days in Beaumont Marine Park.

We had a wonderful stay at South Pender Island.  After an afternoon on land; it was time to say goodbye.

Robin took this photo of us heading to our next destination, Saturna Island
