Viner Sound to Shawl Bay - 1½ hours, 12.1 miles

It was a short trip to Shawl Bay. Again this is a favorite place. Rob, the son of the owners, met us on the dock with his friendly German Sheppard named Shiloh. As always, there have been improvements to the marina. Rob informed us that it was fish chowder night. All we have to do is bring dishes and utensils. They now have a beautifully carved sign with a whale logo. I did a load of laundry here but the machines are so slow I didn't have time to do more. The marina filled up and we had a nice crowd at dinner. Everyone else loved the chowder. It was a bit too fishy for me.
