Jane's log:

florence cove - on the way.jpg (119720 bytes)"Ian just told me he brought up a starfish with the anchor"

"It was a rapids day: Whirlpool Rapids, Greenpoint Rapids, and then, after a stop in Blind Channel for fuel, food, and a prezzie for dad, Dent Rapids and Yaculta Rapids.

"There were porpoises in Whirlpool and Greenpoint.  We may have hit Yaculta a little late, a half hour after slack (but better to hit Dent at slack)so we got a real rush through the calm channel: we registered a 10 on SOG at one point.

"Great spot in Florence Cove: no other boats!

"We sat up on the rocks at the entrance to the cove for a Guinness."
