Circumnavigating Vancouver Island 2024

Back in 2003, we circumnavigated Vancouver Island, capturing wonderful memories. Now in 2024 we hope to re-visit this large island, and create some new memories!

Crab at Port Stewart

22 June 2014 | Behm Canal, AK
George and Sue Stonecliffe
Although the name 'Port Stewart' would imply a community, houses, etc., the place is in wilderness with forest, tidal change, and crab. Both times we put the crab pot down, we came up with 5-6 male crabs! The first time we kept 4; the second time we kept 2. We expect to have crab cooked a hundred different ways! But there's nothing like having crab cooked, cracked and eaten for the main course at dinner. Elaine's happy, and we're happy she's happy! It's rainy, so we're inside cooking chocolate chip cookies, playing Scrabble and cards. Oh yes, two boat projects: the windlass acted up, and was spinning in the up mode non-stop (corrosion on the electrical leads), and the aft head decided it wanted to be serviced (one of my favorite jobs)! Boat projects in exotic places.
