Port Harvey

June 17

Spent the night at Port Harvey.  We had a very nice trip up Johnstone Straight this morning. Calm seas - and -- the AIS worked the entire trip as reported to us from several boats that saw us along the way. 

Jim said that one year ago on this day we were also going from Handfield Bay to Port Harvey!!  

The main barge in Port Harvey sunk last December. The marina had a store and a restaurant on the barge. They have raised the barge and begun the process of rebuilding. But in the meantime they have a tent on a new float and the pizza oven is up and running again -- so we will have pizza for dinner!  

Port Harvey certainly looks different with the store and the Red Shoe Cafe missing. It was very comfortable sitting under the tent and the pizza was fabulous - as usual!! 

We arrived about 1:00 and the weather was lovely - sunny and warm. We met a couple of a on a sailboat that have been sailing around the world for 30-40 years!  Lovely to meet them. They have been everywhere. Spent 4 years with their young son going to Turkey and South Africa and places, and also went to Singapore and area. Amazing!  Their son is now 38. They are on their way to Alaska.

We stayed one night, the next stop will be Port McNeill.
