Today, we moved on to Shearwater Resort & Marina. But the day started with a bang. Before we left Fancy Cove, Rob caught his first Coho Salmon, a beautiful eight pound fish.

Bill also caught 14 Dunegeness crabs
He gave us two, kept two and threw the rest back
Shearwater has many services but potable water is not one of them. So we decided to stop in at the Campbell Island village of Bella Bella, also known as "Waglisla" and home to the Heiltsuk First Nation, to fill up with water and buy some groceries. We received a friendly reception at the grocery store and we were encouraged to top up our water supply at the fuel dock.

At Shearwater Resort & Marina, we ate fish and chips at the pub and a took walk through the woods with Eileen, Bill and Casca. We are looking forward to seeing Jessica tomorrow. We will meet her in Bella Bella and she will spend a few days with us.
