July 15, 2012: Galley Bay to Powell River
 |
| Who'd have guessed Powell River's Ferry Terminal would be so busy? |
This time we passed Lund
without needing to stop.
Our urgent need to use
Lund’s pumpout was alleviated thanks to a now well-developed technique for
periodically depositing small amounts of sterile liquid to deep, wide, open
bays. Ask, if you’re curious; it
can be described with a balance of detail, simplicity and humor.
By midday, we pulled into
Powell River marina, fueled and docked.
The marina and its staff were welcoming. However, they were unable to fix a flaky internet
connection, so we spent the afternoon wandering about, in search of eats,
drinks and internet access. After
several tries, we found a Greek restaurant with excellent internet access. We called it our “brews and news.”
We stretched our legs a bit
more for mini-provisioning and some scenery, but didn’t leave ourselves enough
time to indulge in the lovingly restored 1913 Patricia
Theatre. Instead we watched a surprising succession of ferries silhouetted by
a vibrant sunset.
