Well, the rain didn’t let up and it was still pouring when I
woke up. I waited around for a few hours
and it was still raning, so I headed out for Sullivan Bay for a few supplies
and then to find an anchorage for the night.

Sullivan Bay was pretty empty and apparently has been that
way for the whole summer. Of all the
places in the Broughtons, Sullivan Bay is probably the highest end. One of the float homes in the bay had a
$250,000 fishing “skiff” at the dock and a helicopter on the roof!
Anyway, I chatted a bit with the owners and crew of Bella
Rosa, an ~80 foot expedition style boat from Mercer Island. The captain and chef had grown up on Mercer
Island (like me, but way before me) so we had plenty to talk about. The chef felt badly that I didn’t have an
oven aboard, and gave me bags of fresh cookies and desert bars. They’re delicious; thanks!
After Sullivan Bay I headed for Stopford Bay in Cypress
Harbour. Although Cypress Harbour has
been scarred by logging and has a huge fish farm in it, Stopford Bay is nicely
removed from all that. A BC Forest
Service campground is nestled in the woods and the setting is quite
tranquil. Relatively shallow water keeps
many of the boats out, I think, and nobody else enjoyed the anchorage with
me. The weather, though still gray,
wasn’t rainy, so I took some time to paddle around the cove and walk around the
campsites. They’d be nice if you were
kayaking.
