Montague Hargour, Galiano Island

JP arrived via floatplane from Seattle. We met at the boat and went through the safety items before leaving the dock.  We knew he was anxious to be sailing and the winds were 10-15 kts which left us no choice but to sail for a few hours. After returning to the anchorage the boys went for a dinghy adventure and hike. The evening finished with a BBQ with the Blues Festival music in the background. City lights added to the evening milieu.

Oh the early morning agenda……we had to rise early to get thru Dodd Narrows just before slack. As we motored toward the Narrows a pod of Orcas surfaced and said goodbye.

We stopped at Pirates Cove and anchored with a stern tie around lunch time. We were all pretty tired from the early morning so a hike was in order. This revived us enough to press on to Montague.

We sailed most of the way to Montague taking advantage of the wind when we could. Sometimes we did cheat and motor a bit…..arriving in the Harbour around 6ish. After securing Talos IV and bedding down the furry crew we headed to shore for some adult entertainment. The Hummingbird Pub Bus was on the list of “must do”

The bus and pub experience was nothing short of memorable. The food and beer were much appreciated by the thirsty crew of Talos IV. We were delivered back to Talos IV where we collapsed.

Things really got exciting after JP arrived.
