And then the adventures taper off

This is just a quick update; we have to hustle and catch the water taxi over to Bella Bella in a few minutes.

After having a lot of missed connections with the insurance people last week, and some miscommunications with the boat yard, we're only just now discovering that the boat won't, even optimistically, be ready until sometime late next week. Had we known that before the weekend, and also that the insurance would not cover our lodging expenses while we can't be aboard the boat, we would have cut and run sooner. But as it is, we're just coming to all these realizations this morning, and we're getting the hell out of Shearwater. None too soon; everyone is nice, but we've seen them all far too often and frankly so much cheeriness is starting to get on our nerves while we're stuck here.

So I got us on a flight this afternoon to Vancouver, and we'll try to get to Seattle by tonight. I hope. I need a shower.

It's severely disappointing for both of us, since we had a limited amount of time in the first place, and other things were cutting into it already, and now we find that we may not have enough to keep going, to say nothing of getting the boat home. So; no decisions yet, we're just in very glum moods. Watching the Princess Cruise Line ads on the big screen here in the bar isn't helping much.

Well, more later, I imagine, unless the plane crashes, which doesn't seem all that unlikely at this point.
