Monday August 15 Tried a little fishing from the pier last night as the tide was very low. Luckily I did not catch anything because I didn't know how I would get it up on the pier. Only one other guest at the house last night. We talked through breakfast and then got ready to go to Moresby Explorers for bikes but Rae said she had some out back for guests. We got three Cdn Tire specials that were all tuned up, pumped up and ready to go. We started out to the ferry then realized we had to do 20 km/hr for 30 min to make the ferry. We set up a pace line and rode right onto the boat. Or should I say slipped on as the ramp was slimy with the low tide. Rode over to Skiddegate Landing with 4 cars on a boat that looked like an Albion Ferry. The big ferry to the mainland was getting ready to load but it didn't look like there were too many heading out/off the island. We went to the Fed Govt office/ Haida museum for a tour including the canoe making with a young fellow telling us old people about how they are made. We were getting cold and hungry so we went to Jake's Beanstalk for coffee and sandwiches. We got a good info briefing from the cashier and another local. We rode on through Skiddegate to a souvenir store with some cautionary storm words from the owner. Onto Balance Rock and then back to the Coop for our last grocery purchase. Decided to head out to Queen Charlotte City to see what was there - More than Sandspit and Skiddegate combined but still not too much. Beth is worried about getting cold so she is shopping for more clothes and gum boots. Westerlies picked up while we headed west into QC City but while I sit out here winds have dropped. We will have the winds at our back all the way to the guest house.
