Beautiful. Do y'all swim there or is the water too cold? Looks like a great swimming spot, but I'm from Texas and our water is currently about 117 degrees.
Temperature would be the least of my concerns but then I'm one to jump in first thing in the morning in most places.I had a similar question as to water temperature, because I don't know what they consider warm. I am most certain it's not the same as you would. At home today ours is 86 degrees. Where we are at the moment it's 66 degrees and everyone is hitting the beaches today.
Temperature would be the least of my concerns...

Crusty Chief; said:Guess we got spoiled up North. ASD and us parked in Squirrel Cove last night along with at least 60 other boats.
Ka_sea_ta; said:The end of the night was eventful, PH had more boats than normal because of the concert and about midnight it started blowing about 25 to 35 through there... More than a few boaters learned why oversized ground tackle is a good thing. Lots of drug anchors, a few failed stern ties and more than one boat left in the middle of the night.
I don't want to sidetrack Dave's Excellent Adventure with another link so just Google it. Another world.Have done Havasu and Sturgis(overnight in Spearfish) a few times but where is Haulover?
So how come you don't show up on Marine Traffic AIS?We left Malanie Cove to head South. I am having my son-in-law drive and was showing him how to use the AIS. Seeing a boat on a converting course I said "for example, if you wanted to hail that boat to arrange a pass you would highlife their AIS icon, and get the complete info to get their name". So I did it to show him and said "if we wanted to hail this boat, the name is the Alaska Sea Duction, wait what?!"
I hailed then on VHF and said hi. Turns out Crusty Chief was following in company. Small world. They were in Squirrel Cove a day behind us.
Had the opportunity to meet David and his family last night. Nice folks who seem like they're having great time. They sure picked the right weather window! Just saw them leave out of the telescope. Beautiful flat day to cross if that's what they're doing.
Haha...Yup. Karen decided that she wanted to go to Nanaimo (sorry HW). Hopefully Comox won't be too full on this holiday weekend.
Thanks HW.
BTW, just heard "Touch of Grey" hailing on 16. Wonder if it is Bruce up here on vacation?
Dave is on the move, Heading for Nanaimo.
Dave: What has been decided for the coming week?
Completely agree, Dave and it is especially nice to go along in familiar territory, understanding what they are seeing.As someone who is currently without a vessel, I just want to say thanks for bringing us all along! I really miss this kind of adventure. Can't wait to get back to it. Safe travels, Dave.
