The cute gazebo and the docks at Cordero Lodge, a good "stop"
Here I am getting my buns soaked off in the woods all in the name of exerciseWe left Lagoon Cove amid overcast rainy weather and headed for Johnstone Strait. When we arrived on the strait we found fairly calm seas but lots of fog. From our Queen Charlotte Strait experience, this navigation was pretty much routine. We ran for 10 miles in fog then turned into Sunderland Passage and the visibility improved significantly.
When we arrived at Cordero Lodge in Cordero Channel we got tied up and made ready to go for a hike up to a rock quarry about 2 miles north of the lodge through the woods. Our timing was exquisite for as soon as we got a respectable distance into the woods, the sky opened up and we got monsoon like rain along with some thunder and lightning. Needless to say we are not heroes so we returned to the boat as fast as we can and wrung ourselves out when we arrived.
Cordero Lodge features an internationally known German restaurant which includes your mooring charge with your bill for dinner. As soon as we got tied up the restaurant manager arrived on the docks with a menu and asked us to order all courses so they could start preparation of everyone's meals. As it turned out the food was great and we pretty much pigged out.
During dinner we were seated with a nice couple from Coquitlam who had both graduated in music. Denise was currently teaching but about to become a vice principal while Rob made his living in music. So we shared a bunch of stories about Darcy in New York which was fun since they both "got it" and knew of the challenges facing musicians making livings.
