MILLBROOK COVE This is the plane landing at Port McNeill yesterday that had cousin Bob and his wife, Karen aboard coming from Seattle.
KENMORE PLANE LANDING AT PORT McNEILLAugust 8, 2010
We left Port McNeill this morning at 7:00 AM to try and avoid some adverse current on our way to Sullivan Bay Marina up in the northern reaches of the Broughtons. As we crossed Queen Charlotte Strait, the fog closed in on us and we had maybe a quarter of a mile of visibility. As we got closer to Sullivan Bay, the fog lightened up to just an overcast sky. We tied up to the dock around 11:00 AM
Sullivan Bay Marina is totally surrounded by water and is only accessible by boat or float plane. There is only one ramp to land and that is to the fuel tanks and is closed to the public. They get their electricity from a diesel generator that runs 24 x 7 during the summer season. It is owned by a consortium of home owners who live here during the season and has a restaurant, a general store, sells fuel to the visiting boaters, and has regular float plane service to the outside world. Oh yes, free internet! I was here about 11 years ago and found most of the floating homes were run down, but look at it now. See pictures below.
