Me, Paul, Tom and Kevin at Montague Harbour

With the arrival of Tom and Kevin at Tsehum Harbour (Tom picked Kevin up at the ferry terminal) we all went to the grocery store where we met up with Paul who had driven down Island from Campbell River.

$200 later, we returned to Trouper II, loaded ourselves, equipment, food and booze on-board. We got underway at around 2pm and motored to Montague Harbour. It took us just over three hours and it rained most of the way. My crew abandoned me to the warmth and shelter of the cabin. No problem. I was happy to be out there cruising!

Arriving at Montague, we tied up to one of many available mooring buoys and were soon enjoying cheese infused hot dogs. Well, our colons weren't enjoying them but they sure tasted good.

Eric arrived at some point in the evening. He caught a ferry from Tsawassen with his bike, which he rode from Sturdies Bay. Kevin was dispatched in the dinghy to pick him up at the dock. The next few hours are a bit of a blur but involved the use of a high powered spotlight, lots of junk food and a few drinks.

Eric brought the Tequila. Like we needed that. Oh and a new ball cap for the Captain.

It's not the number of passengers (5 in this case), it's all the gear they bring.
