We left Von Donop at 7 am for the timing to arrive at Dent Rapid during slack water. Usually there are a number of boats all going through at the same time, even this time of year. There would be a lot of Americans out in May heading to Alaska. This year there was one other boat along with us. They headed into Nodales and we came north to Shoal Bay.
Shoal Bay is one of our favourite spots to stop. There is a small dock here. We’ve been coming here since the first year we got the boat. Mark and his wife are great hosts. It’s a beautiful spot. They have a little garden and a pizza oven and a music festival in August. Often there are weekend events planned. We’ve never been to the music as the dock fills up and boats are often rafted together at the dock. It will be very different this year without the American boaters.
Lots of photos today.

What a lovely place. Now that is living in a rural environment. I am enjoying your travels.

Nice to have this quiet time that allowed you a place at the dock. Must feel very different without all of the Americans there. Enjoy the peace. 🙂
