We
exited these islands via Okisollo Upper and Lower Rapids. Again, we
were on time and there were just a few little whirlpools. We are
traveling in large channels today. Both Discovery Channel and Johnstone
Strait. We were out in the big channels for a relatively small time and
then entered Mayne Channel. Blind Channel Resort
http://www.blindchannel.com/ is located half way up the channel and
is really lovely, especially on a crystal and clear sunny day like
today. We were the only boat on the dock for several hours. Boaters
have to get here via several different set of rapids. So the arrival is
based upon slack tide. First thing I did was take Merlin to the beach.
At high tide there is little beach but at low tide it is beautiful. It
is a rocky beach and I have found numerous pieces of beach glass here.
Of course Merlin is moving small rocks from here to there. This resort
is run by a German family, the Ricther’s. They run a great German
restaurant. Of course we always have dinner here for one night. Fred
comes here just for the goulash.
The docks and buildings are
decorated with dozens of mosaics done by Annemarie Richter, who died in
2003. Unfortunately we never met her. The mosaics are made up of
shells, glass, pottery, buttons and all kinds of odds-and-ends found on
the beach through the years. We were entertained by a fierce electrical
storm in the wee hours of the morning. Merlin & I were not
thrilled but Fred loved it. The lighting lit the whole sky and the
inside of the boat. Merlin & I went back to bed but Fred made a hot
cocoa and sat on the deck to watch.
