July 15 Sunday We pass Lacy falls on our way to Shawl Bay . A few dolfins are milling around a fish farm near the falls. We stop at Echo Bay first . We check out fresh vegetables. They are just about out. No bread and no fuel. They are having a real rough time as Nancy is fighting cancer and has to go back to Victoria for more treatments and they had a big generator fire. They have people helping them but the supplies are late coming in. Echo Bay is on the northwest side of Gilford Island off Cramer passage. In it’s hay day it was a base for 40 families of loggers. Children arrived by boat to a schoolhouse at the head of the bay. This area is now a marine park. A rookery is located here and as many as 15 pairs of herons come each year. A terrible racket is heard especially if an eagle is around. Wind song sea village is here too . It is a group of private residences. One has a gift shop.We arrive at Shawl Bay around 1pm. It is another floating Marina. Here Lorne, Shawn and Robert live year round with aunt Jo who collects the moorage. BYC rent docks here so we stay for free just have to pay for power. Which they do not have as they too have generator problems. They also have laundry, showers, and a book trading option. Shawn also bakes so there is fresh bread pies, and cinnamon buns . We arrive the night they have fish stew tonight after a daily happy hour. They have about 15-20 boats here. With moorage a pancake breakfast is served daily under a covered patio. Today we have heavy showers off and on all day with sun..
