We left Al and Jean and headed south closer to Campbell River where we would be picking up my cousin Alyssa in a couple of days. We traveled 53.2 miles southwest down Nodales Channel, went east through the Oskillo Channel, through Surge Narrows to Hoskyn Channel and tied to the dock at Heriot Bay on Quadra Island. We hit the grocery store, the gift shops and shopping area near the marina and had a wonderful crab salad for dinner. Later that night we went to the Heriot Bay Pub to check out the local island life. Wow, these people can party. We were surprised there weren’t more passed-out bodies on the lawn the following morning, but we enjoyed the little snapshot of island life on a Friday night.



We saw this the previous day--I think you have officially arrived when you've got a yacht like this with a helicopter on the back:
