Viner Sound to Lagoon Cove Marina - 4 hours, 26 miles

Fred woke me up early to see a black bear turning over on the rocks near the boat. Finally, a bear here on our last morning. It rained really hard last night. It sounded so pretty over our heads while we were warm and dry. It rained a little this morning and then just changed to overcast. We had a nice ride to Lagoon Cove. This is one of the several family run marinas in the Broughtons. Bill & Jeanne Barber are always helpful, fun and full of great stories. Ask Bill to tell the one about the bear. We had finished getting the boat clean and ready for Kelli & Jason’s arrival tomorrow and went up to check email. I looked out into the cove and I saw Teddy Bear coming in. This is a 55’ Florida Bay Trawler that was custom built for Teddy & John Hozemer. We last saw them in Sitka in 2007. We had a nice visit during happy hour. As usual, I didn’t have to cook dinner. Everyone brings a pot luck appetizer and Bill provides all you can eat fresh prawns.
