Thursday, June 6 Hardy Island to Lund Harbour 3 hours 31.3 miles

Fred called yesterday and spoke to the harbormaster at Lund, Darlene.  We know that the docks are not very big there and wanted to know if there might be room for us today.  She said yes!  Our trip today is entirely in Malaspina Straight.  There is minimal wind and we had a very nice cruise.  Darlene was there on the dock to help catch lines at the end of B Dock.  Fred and Darlene were chatting and she mentioned that she recently returned from a vacation to Cuba.  Of course Fred wanted to know if she bought any Cuban cigars.   Well, she had and gave Fred a Cohiba. She doesn’t even smoke them.  She refused to take any money for it.  It is sunny today and the harbour area looks charming.  We started off at Nancy’s Bakery.  This place is legend among cruisers.  We had a latte and a sweet roll bigger than your fist.  Pure heaven!  We went to the Boardwalk Restaurant for dinner.  We took a vote and the halibut fish & chip here are the best anywhere.
