Quadra Island, Heriot Bay, Jedediah Island.

On May 1st , we sailed almost all the way to Heriot Bay, South wind, we figured there should be a spot on the big (almost 700′ ) dock, but it looked chock full, there was still one spot behind MV Cosmo, and the owner helped us in, telling us to put the boat very close to his, as he told us there would be a very large fishing boat docking in front of us.    The fishing boat never did show up.        The Tru Value grocery store is a short walk away, along the beach, they basically sell everything and the vegies are very fresh.       On the way back, we stopped at the pub, and had a pint of dark beer, did that ever taste good, and a good dinner, did not taste like pub food at all.         The Next day, we travelled for 10.9 hours, a very long day to say the least, no wind, no sailing.      A family of sea lions lay on the rocks on the Mouat Islets, the adults a soft brown color, the babies almost black.   We decided to head for Little Bull Passage, usually there is no one there, and its good holding.   Four goats greeted us on the shore.      They are feral goats and are all looking very good and healthy.          We did not go on shore, it was quite late and we were hungry.     The Indian Paintbrush is blooming, red splotches of color every where between the rocks, this is such a beautiful Island.
