A spectacular destination - Octopus Islands. It was so named because there are Octopi there, but all we saw was a starfish, lots of them.

Florence Cove near the rapids at Hole in the Wall.

Refuge Cove is exactly that, a quick tuck in refuge.

Time for a little competition - Mexican Train meets Uno.

Meet the Sea Otter - a boat just like ours.

We felt welcome indeed.

Fleet mates - what a great group to travel with!

Entering Sturt Bay located on the northeast corner of Texada Island.

Checking the fishing maps for Secret Cove - it is all about the fishing!
