We travelled up the Jervis Inlet and on our way passed the Earl's Cove to Saltery Bay Ferry. Cars travelling on this ferry can travel further north to Powell River and Lund, BC, the most northern most highway which extends all the way to South America.
We arrived at the marina and quickly learned why it is called the Backeddy Marina. Located just a few miles from the Skookumchuck Rapids, there are huge back eddies which run right through the marina. The dock hand gave Al instructions for a fairly complicated maneuver necessitating a turn in narrow quarters and then going full throttle for the dock. Whew! It worked and Al did super job!. Needless to say we were glad to be tied up and planned to stay two nights before heading on to Princess Louisa Inlet. Just after sunset set we were rewarding with a beautiful sky and a very pleasant evening.
