If you've been following this tiresome tome from the beginning, you'll recall that Telegraph Harbour was our first stop after leaving Friday Harbor back on June 4. Here it was that we almost caught up with Night Music as they were ignominiously towed out of here to Nanaimo.

So today we have returned. The photo above is our attempt to recreate the one we took in June. If you're energetic, you can compare the two. Actually, there are still empty slips here tonight. Amazing! It's still pretty full.

We came around from Clam Bay, arriving about 1330. There are a couple of other TYC boats here, too. But it's not the Broughtons. No group Happy Hours here. Everyone does their own thing and keeps to themselves.

Layday tomorrow. We may take the ferry over to Chemainus. We've done it a zillion times before, but it's something to do. There's a good grocery store over there, if nothing else.
