Potts Lagoon to Echo Bay

I AM SORRY these pics are in reverse order.
thhis is the fuel dock at Sullivan Bay.
























Here is the pig on a spit made from a boat propeller shaft.

Here is how all of these places are able to provide fuel and electricity. This fuel barge carries petroleum and propane.



a This is Windsong resort across the little bay from Echo Bay it is an "artist's marina. No power, water or other niceties. But pierre andhis investors bought it out last January. The use it for overflow when they are packed with the pig roast boaters.


















This house is part of Windsong and is on a barge set on a tide grid. It was the home of the original Windsong owner/couple who ended up divorced. then it just sat for the last 10 years or so. Looks like a ghost house.
This pic is of Pierre who had a marina at Pierre's Lodge near Echo Bay. He and his wife, Tove bought Echo Bay and moved their major buildings here. They are well-known for the pig roast they do every Sat night. They change the theme around this is pirates night. we all are pirates.
Here are Merlyn and Richard at the pig roast we had a very good tijme. we happended to be with three other boats from our yacht club. Lots of joking and fun. the night before, merlyn and i had dinner here at steak night. I was complaining to the people we just met at our table about forgetting my meds for acid reflux. The guy next to me happens to be a GP in Canada and he gave me NEXIUM for 5 weeks supply to get well untll we are back. Wow!











Echo Bay looking back out the entry that is Deerleap to the left an old and "famous" yatch belonged to movie stars. Well, something like that :>)










I plan to send more pics in the next day or two - we are headed south and are at Blind Channel yestereday we traveled 50 miles south from lagoon Cove. While at Sullivan Bay i learned more about shrimping and actually caught some.

The tale of our traveling on Johnstone Straits south in fog is a little amusing and will cover that next.
