Wednesday 23~~~~~ We went fishing again at Brown bay yesterday, so today we are sightseeing in the boat, going to all the islands, the weather is pretty nice. We went to Stuart island and all around Quadra Island plus too many islands to mention. We planned on having lunch at Big Bay on Stuart Island, but when we pulled into the dock there, a very interesting, nice, young man came down and talked to us. He said that most of the deli's at the island had closed already for the winter. A float plane delivering the mail to the island landed while we were there and we took a picture. The home of the family who owns the "Peterbuilt" trucking company. They own a very large piece of land there because a company was going to buy the Big Bay Lodge to build some condos. He wanted the island to remain quieter with less people so he bought the Lodge. A lot of celebrities own lovely homes here because of the beauty and the complete privacy with no roads on the island. He said Michelle Phiffer built a lovely home on the island but he didn't know if she was there at the time or not. We stopped at Herio Bay on Quadra Island and tied up in their marina and we went up to the Pub and had a lovely lunch and a couple of beers. I had the best chantrel mushroom soup ever, Kent had a sloppy Joe, fries and a salad. From here it was getting time to head back home, so that was the end of a lovely day island hopping.
