We have wall-to-wall blue skies this morning as we head out for Montague Harbour, just about a four-hour run from Blind Bay.  The wind is only blowing about 5 knots and the seas are flat.

By the time we headed up Haro Strait the wind had picked up to 15 knots, gusting to 25 knots, but the wind was behind us, so the seas were not all that bad, even with the rips.  It wasn’t long before we were crossing Boundary Pass, entering Canada.  We made good time, and entered Montague Harbour at 1135 hrs.

Montague is just the same as when we left here in October.  The summer crowd hasn’t arrived yet, so we were able to anchor in our favorite spot, just off the marina.  

As soon as we finished anchoring, Al called Amy in the marina office to get the password for the internet.  I’m hoping that the signal is strong enough to upload posts to my blog.  We’ll see.

After a delicious lunch of barbecued ribs, we headed ashore for our first ice cream cone of the summer.  

Amber is still running the store, but she has a new assistant, Amy.  Business must be good.  The owners, Mike and his brother Dan, came over to welcome us.  They said we were like the bookends of their summer.  We’re the first to arrive in May, and the last to leave in September. 

Al picked up a couple of bell peppers for the spaghetti sauce he’s going to make tomorrow, and we headed back to the boat to enjoy the rest of this beautiful day.
