half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats."

Let's go to Montague Harbor ... says Tina & Tad



"You will love it! They have beer there!" Well, that's all that Gene & Jim needed to hear. "Oh yea, Delores & Paula, there is a really neat island to go hiking on, also!" So away we went ... and what a lovely place! Montague Harbor is the first marine park established in British Columbia. It had the Caribbean feel to it. A couple of hundreds of boats on mooring balls, shops, and places to eat. A floating pastry boat was anchored in the bay. The owners bake fresh cinnamon rolls every day as well as many delicious pastries and breakfast sandwiches. We hiked one of the islands there and walked a shell beach. We were treated to an especially beautiful sunset that evening. That's a lagoon that we had to hike around to get to the shell beach and the island . There are many artesian shops to explore ... many sights to take in. I definitely want to go back. Montague Harbor is known for the bus ride to the pub. We didn't do the bus ride this time. So we have a reason to go back! Thanks Tina & Tad for suggesting that we spent our last anchor at Montague Harbor.
