Muirhead Islands to Jennis Bay

We had a very short trip back down Drury Inlet to Jennis Bay Marina. They only have room for about ten boats here. There were five here. That is a nice amount for visiting. Allison & Tom, the owners, are not here. The caretakers, George & Phyllis, are very nice and interesting people. This is the place that their large dog was attacked by a wolf up near the building on shore. This happened last summer. Fortunately everything healed except the left eye. Phyllis also told us that a Portuguese Water Dog was walking on the shell beach (midden) at Blunden Harbour and the dog was grabbed by a cougar and disappeared. The BC coast is a rain forest and the woods and shrubs are very dense. Now, of course we are wary of taking Merlin in a place near the forest. We took him up to the head of the dock only. He did have fun running around on the docks. Of course we had Happy Hour in the Cook house. We ran into a couple who live in Alameda! George was very interesting. He comes from the middle of Canada. He told us stories about being a lumberjack and about his bull riding days in the rodeo.
