We got an internet connection from the boat when we were anchored in Ganges Harbour and received an email message from friends Daphne and George from our home town marina. They were in the area on their boat. We called them and decided to meet at Bedwell Harbour on Friday.

Bedwell is a lovely place. There is a huge bay with several mooring balls and a marina. We chose to anchor, as usual. George and Daphne arrived and rafted to our starboard side. We enjoyed visiting, catching up, meals and a good but exhausting hike up to Mt. Norman.

Our friends left Saturday morning and Ken and I headed out in the dinghy with our dirty laundry and empty grocery bags. There is a village a few miles from here at Port Browning and we got our chores done there. It was the holiday weekend and the marina there was more than full. People sure were having fun.

We've been enjoying the unseasonably warm weather (YAY!) here and decided to just stay for a few more days. We found some new trails up at Medicine Beach yesterday. There is a nice salt water marsh there.
