A couple hours south of the Octopus Islands is the Heriot Bay Marina on the east side of Quadra Island. Upon arriving, we were able to buy diesel fuel, groceries, obtain water, shore power, rid ourselves of garbage, and do the laundry: all the necessities! But having lunch and dinner
ashore was a welcome change for us. Tomorrow we head towards Pendrell Sound where the waters are about 70 degrees due to a tidal phenomenon that traps the waters from the cooler waters of the outer area.
