Grace Harbour to Refuge Cove - 1¼ hours, 6 miles

There are not many places that have phone and internet service in Desolation Sound. We came to Refuge Cove specifically to have both. We left Grace Harbour early so we could get a place on the dock at Refuge Cove (West Redonda Island). We found a good dock location but the phone wouldn’t work from the boat. Internet service was $10 / 24 hours. This is quite a little “town”. The marina area is run as a co-op. The store is very well supplied and they sell liquor too. The laundry is clean, has two showers and two toilets. The best part is the little restaurant. It is open for breakfast and lunch. We went over and had a breakfast sandwich (hamburger bun, cheese, ham & fried egg) which was delicious. Of course we each had a latte and they were delicious. There are boardwalks over the rocky shore that also let to a little gift shop. Big surprise, I didn’t buy anything.
