Echoing Echo Bay

After leaving Sullivan Bay, we cruised to Shawl Bay, a much less upscale marina than Sullivan Bay, but much more in tune with the C-Dory lifestyle. We enjoyed a potluck happy hour before dinner on our own, and in the morning, Lorne's famous pancake breakfast, to which we contributed blueberries for the pancakes and some fried-up bacon.

Tonight we are back in Pierre's Echo Bay for a final gathering with our C-Brat friends Roger & Janet on Dreamer, Barry & Patti on C-Cakes, Brent & Dixie on Discovery, and George on Kerri On. Dinner was Pierre's second-most-famous dinner, prime rib on the Weber 8000 BBQ (the most famous being the Roast Pig dinner which we enjoyed here with the same group a couple of weeks ago.)

Unfortunately, the rain has returned, along with low clouds and cooler weather, so tomorrow we split up and head for home on our own paths & schedules. Lori and I will head south in search of actual summer weather, which hopefully we will find in Desolation Sound and the Discovery Islands, the next major island groups south of here. Failing that, we should be able to find good weather in the Canadian Gulf Islands and the U.S. San Juans, if email weather reports are to be believed.
